Story Café Special: She Settles in the Shields
Thursday, 19th September , 12:30pm to 2:00pm
As part of Doors Open Day 2024 we’ll be exploring the rich tapestry of stories that make up our community. Alongside a special exhibition, highlighting the lives of migrant women who made Pollokshields their home between 1950s and 1980s, we’ll be reading from and discussing the ground-breaking book of oral histories, She Settles in the Shields. This intimate session offers a chance to delve deeper into women’s experiences and reflect on the impact of migration on our community. Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate the voices and stories of the women who have helped shape Glasgow as we know it today. A perfect way to mark Doors Open in Glasgow, whose theme this year is We’re All Here: Diversity & Diaspora.
