As part of the Scottish Mental Health Arts and Film Festival, Glasgow Women’s Library are running the first of their ME(dia) sessions at the CCA.

Sunday 3 October, 3pm – 5pm, CCA Clubroom

We break down the information that young women are confronted with every day – the mismatch between images, ideals and real lives. We get creative and start trashing the mags to create our own magazine covers that represent young women, their feelings, passions and interests. Aged 16+

Booking is essential. For more information or to book your place click here to send us an email or you can call us on 0141 248 9969.

Vintage Vogue Sale

To the relief of its over-burdened bookshelves, the GWL will be hosting a one-off event in order to sell its extensive collection of vintage women’s fashion magazines.

Our Vogue collection comprises of almost 300 issues, spanning three decades of fabulous fashion and four editor-in-chiefs, including the brief years when Anna Wintour was at the helm.

Also in abundance are vintage ELLE, Marie Claire, Q and Cosmopolitan publications dating back to the 1980s. These magazines remain fascinating relics of an ever-transient fashion and popular culture realm.

The sale will take place at Glasgow Women’s Library on Thursday, 19th November, 5-7pm.

All proceeds from the sale will support Glasgow Women’s Library’s move to new premises at the Mitchell.
