At GWL, we have a group called Seeing Things. The Seeing Things group get together to explore cultural events across Glasgow, such as (but not limited to!) art, music, theatre or comedy. Since the start of 2014, the group has visited exhibitions, art and performance events in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Due to ongoing concerns around Coronavirus, today we announced that we will be closed until further notice. This means all of our events and the groups that regularly meet in our spaces – and outside of our building – will no longer have those opportunities and that sense of community.
Over the next few weeks, we want to do as much as we can to create this sense of community online. That’s why we want to take our Seeing Things group online with #StillSeeingThings. We’ll be showcasing the work and exhibitions of women creatives from organisations from around the world, as well as things from our own building.
We’ll be turning our attention to an organisation’s social media account and then we’ll be discussing what we’ve seen on our Twitter channel.
We’ll be updating this blog post as we confirm which organisations are taking part and when you can expect these tours.
