A Feminist Chorus: In Conversation

Join Dr Sarah Neely and artist, Lucy Reynolds in discussion around A Feminist Chorus to coincide with the publication launch, which includes collected scores for the Chorus and a commissioned essay by Dr Sarah Neely.
Tuesday 25 November, 6pm to 7:30pm
A Feminist Chorus contributes a communal voice to Glasgow women’s history and recalls the collective power of the Women’s Movement tracing it through the spaces, writings and memories of the city. The full spoken word score for the chorus brings together three connected narratives of women’s histories in Glasgow. Participants from a wide community across Glasgow came together in a one off publically attended and film, sell out performance to recite the score drawn from the collection at GWL and the city’s archives, including personal texts, readings of historic registers from The Glasgow School of Art and the Glasgow Society for Lady Artists, and extracts from historic and contemporary writings.
For Glasgow International, sections of the score were also installed as sounds works in the ‘Hen Run’ at Glasgow School of Art and at the former home of the Lady Artists’ Club, 5 Blythswood Square.
