Seeing Things Visit CCA: Shuvinai Ashoona & Glasgow Seed Library

Seeing Things is a group that meet up to see art, performances and cultural events put on by women across Glasgow and beyond. We think it’s more fun to go to see things together, and we usually have a cup of tea or coffee afterwards.  Our trips are always free. It would be great if you could come along.

Why you should join us:

We are seeing Holding on to Universes, an exhibition of work by Shuvinai Ashoona, depicting folklore tales, memories of the past and visions of the future. Ashoona’s pencil drawings portray a range of scenes from remembered familial rituals and traditions to mystical, imagined events.We will also be hearing more about the Glasgow Seed Library, a depository of seeds held in trust for the public. The library is both a collection of seeds and a community of growers.
