GI: Palaces, Ballrooms and Battling Betty McAllister: Hidden Histories of Art and Culture in Glasgow’s East End
Artists Ruth Barker and Kim Moore have made work in response to Glasgow Women’s Library’s East End Women’s Heritage Walk for Glasgow International Festival 2014. These works are available to download for free and are best experienced in and around Bridgeton, the new neighbourhood of Glasgow Women’s Library.
The Lives of Saints by Ruth Barker
Barker uses live performance and spoken word poetry to re-tell ancient myths through the lens of her own unconscious associations. She has produced a new meditative sequence of short aural pieces, The Lives of Saints, evoking the stories of women including Saint Teneu and the lost witch Maggie Wall.
WeRunWeWalkWeRun by Kim Moore
We run. We walk. We run is a new sound piece created by Kim Moore using binaural recordings of real and unreal spaces inspired by histories and stories of women and walking in Glasgow’s East End.
Both artists’ sound pieces are to be experienced in and around Bridgeton, the new neighbourhood of Glasgow Women’s Library.
