Episode 3
Loop tells the story of Shatha Altowai and her husband Saber, artists from Yemen who made the decision to flee their home after escalation in the civil war made it impossible to practise their art. Having found a safe haven in Edinburgh, they are now using their creativity to highlight the plight of those still trapped in the conflict.
On the Isle of Lewis, Netty Sopata takes us through the art of kilt making and shares the reasons why creating traditional garments using wool from her own flock of sheep is important to her.
Teenage photographer Dylan Lombard doesn't go anywhere without his camera. At the age of ten he was diagnosed with MDP syndrome, a condition that affects only 13 other people in the world. Looking different to his classmates, Dylan felt isolated growing up, until his parents bought him a camera and what began as a coping method soon became an obsession.
Loop also hears from Gilly McLaren, who was so in awe of the care she received while going through treatment for ovarian cancer that she began to create portraits of the NHS staff who saved her. In Dundee, she meets two of those staff and presents them with their portraits.
