Alicia Bruce: The Greatest 36 holes? Coming soon

Electric Daisy
Thursday & Friday 4pm – 10pm
Saturday & Sunday 12pm – 8pm 

Visit Electric Daisy to see Alicia Bruce’s exhibition The Greatest 36 holes? Coming Soon.

This new project builds on Bruce’s critically acclaimed monograph, I Burn But I Am Not Consumed (Daylight Books, 2023), which documented 16 years of Trump’s impact on the Menie community. Her work highlights the resilience and humanity of local residents who have endured years of disruption, even as they were publicly dismissed and derided by Trump, who famously labelled them “peasants” and “pigs.” Bruce’s images not only tell a story of environmental loss but also reflect on themes of human and land rights, displacement, and resistance.
