Visions of new a home for women, art, feminism and reading in Glasgow.
Saturday 29 May, 2.30pm – 4pm, pop-in to the CCA club room
This event is inspired by the question How Do We Go On From Here? and by the Read Out Read In reading lists and reading groups. Reading into the Future will be an opportunity to expand this list of books, articles and films to include your own favourite and inspiring reading and writing and to advise the Library’s staff about what materials the future women’s library should contain.
Glasgow Women’s Library staff will also be facilitating workshops throughout the afternoon that take this visioning of a women’s library of the future further… What will the new space look like? What facilities should it contain? And, what reading, making, performing, learning and researching could take place there?
Swap a Book and Make a Kite
We are also looking for women to share books in a special book swap to mark the end of the Long Loch exhibition. Please wrap up a book and bring it to swap on the day. The suggestions and visions generated on the day and those gathered at CCA and GWL during the exhibition will be used in the construction of an end of the Long Loch kite. Come and make sure your visions for women and feminism and reading take flight.
