February – June 2023
We’re delighted to be launching our new programme!
This Spring we are celebrating the creative ways these voices have been projected using a multitude of art forms and activities throughout history.
Our Heritage Walks are back after the winter, with opportunities to hear about Glasgow women in the Gorbals, Merchant City and Garnethill, where GWL had its first home. A taste of that 90s Garnethill space will enrich our Bridgeton abode with an immersive exhibition, GWL Origins: Pre-internet Community Building, demonstrating the way voices and ideas were connected and shared in the pre-internet era, enabling community building and resistance to thrive.
Action from our archive will be accompanied by our usual packed programme of workshops, exhibitions, reading and writing events.
All our events are listed on our website under upcoming events and you can book online or email info@womenslibrary.org.uk for more information. Below you’ll find all our events listed in date order with a web link to where you can find out more and book a free place. Enjoy exploring what’s on!
