A Feminist Chorus
7th April, 2014 to 21st April, 2014
On the occasion of the GI Festival, a number of spaces across Glasgow resonate with a feminist voice. Lucy Reynolds is interested in the collective power of the Women’s Movement; tracing it through the spaces, writings and memories of the city.
A Feminist Chorus includes recitations from personal and polemic texts, adding a communal voice to Glasgow’s feminist history. The score draws on the collection of Glasgow Women’s Library and the city’s archives, including The Glasgow School of Art and the Mitchell Library. Participants from across Glasgow will speak the score at a collective choral event at Glasgow Women’s Library, while sound installations will be orchestrated, recorded and aired at other locations that carry echoes of the past. A Feminist Chorus is curated by MAP, a Glasgow-based online contemporary art publisher.
