Intermedia Gallery, CCA Glasgow
Glasgow Women’s Library is a phenomenon: the sole resource of its kind in Scotland. We are celebrating our 21st birthday by commissioning 21 women artists to make new work inspired by GWL’s library, archive and museum artefacts. Artists including Claire Barclay, Kate Davis, Lucy Skaer and Karla Black have created work that draws on sources including campaign badges, knitting patterns, suffragette ephemera, album covers, feminist newsletters and lesbian dime novels. Come to these special gallery tours with some of the artists involved to hear about the methods, inspiration and their links to the Library.
