I Love Scolawi is an etched photography project Jenni ran in 2014, juxtaposing the different cultures of Scotland and Malawi.
Cultural references from one country were etched onto photographs taken in the other country (Scottish designs were etched onto Malawian photos, and vice versa).
By superimposing the two cultures, the strong relationship between the two countries was highlighted, along with the common bond of human experience despite a cultural and geographic divide.
Jenni collaborated with 300 children and adults in both Auchtermuchty, Scotland and Blantyre, Malawi to produce work on a similar theme to her own – using the same base photographs.
Their best forty pictures were featured alongside her work in the final exhibition at Fifespace Gallery, Glenrothes between October and December 2014. Jenni also toured the exhibition to Malawi, and showed it at 2014’s Blantyre Arts Festival and the Lake of Stars music and arts festival.
