Meet Divinity and Ron.
Both collaborators and friends, Catherine Opie photographs them in the 90s, a pivotal time in their lives when performance art became a powerful way to challenge the stigma surrounding HIV and AIDS.
Through the use of blood, scarring and the body, their performances confronted audiences by challenging perceptions of illness, identity and the question of who has a right to be visible.
This is your last chance to catch Catherine Opie: To Be Seen at the Royal Scottish Academy building in Edinburgh, closing at the end of Sunday 1 November. Plan your visit this weekend via the link in our bio!

Look up! Young people are taking over Edinburgh’s billboards! 📷
Inspired by Catherine Opie: To Be Seen, young people from @grantonyouthinsta have created a series of stunning portraits now appearing across the city on @BUILDHOLLYWOOD Scotland’s poster and billboard sites.
Expanding on Opie’s documentation of identity, and asking what it means to be seen, the group worked with artist @matthewarthurwilliams and supporting artist @m_v_brown in a pop-up photography studio, experimenting with analogue and digital photography.
Choosing their own backdrops and props, they explored how they wanted to represent themselves and how portraiture can tell individual and shared stories. They are deservingly taking up space and telling their stories!
Together, these artworks offer a collective voice, showing what it truly means for these young people to be seen. See them for yourself across Edinburgh, in places such as Leith Links, Easter Road and Meadowbank!
Featuring artists Freya, Enigma, Lily Duncan, Beda Rose, Selma, Diva, Esther, Faiza and Titaws✨📸
Have you seen any across the city yet?

Through the depiction of Madonna and Child, Catherine Opie pictures herself here breast-feeding her son Oliver, not only portraying herself as a mother and reaching her dream of raising a family, but also being identified as a butch.
With very few depictions of mothers in the act of nursing, this portrait quickly became one of Opie’s most momentous and critical photographs.
Her portraits in this exhibition sit alongside historic artworks from the National Galleries of Scotland collection, allowing us to reflect on who is most commonly portrayed, and those who go unseen.
Catherine Opie: To Be Seen closes on 1 November. Don’t miss your last chance to see this striking exhibition at the Royal Scottish Academy building by Catherine Opie - named one of 2026’s most influential people in art by Time Magazine.

Introducing the first of our 20 Faces in focus:
Catherine Opie
The photographer @catherineopiestudio and writer @michelleteaz’s relationship dates back to the ’90s, when both were living in San Francisco and actively involved in the queer communities once central to the city’s identity. Much has changed since then, but both remain focused on themes of visibility, joy, anger, wisdom and freedom in their work. Here, the pair discuss the zigzagging journey towards equality in America.
Issue 6 available to pre order now via link in bio.

“I have to tell them they’re all lesbians!” 🏳️🌈
Being and Having (1991) is Catherine Opie’s first major work. The series comprises of 13 portraits of her friends from the West Coast leather dyke scene performing their masculine personas. Arranged in a grid, their heads tightly framed against a uniform background, each has their nickname engraved on a nameplate. Opie is Bo on the top row, far left!
Viewed up close, you can see the webbing and glue of the fake beards and moustaches. This playful presentation challenges our reading of masculinity. Opie says: ‘Being and Having stares right back at you – we’re women occupying a masculine space.’
Enjoy Being and Having (1991) up close for yourself in Edinburgh! Catherine Opie: To Be Seen is on at the Royal Scottish Academy building which is open daily.
