Writer and performer Harry Josephine Giles responds to Charles Darwin's 'On The Origin of the Species' as part of the Neu! Treasures! commission. She discusses her approach to the commission, how it relates to her own experience as a writer and about working with the collections at the National Library of Scotland.
In partnership with Neu! Reekie!, the National Library of Scotland commissioned artists to respond to collection items which are displayed in the Treasures exhibition. Each artist has created a new work of poetry, prose, song or film in response to their collection item.
