Tall Tales

Tall Tales is a national touring programme bringing together the work of 17 international women artists. Each of the artists taking part looks at narrative, story-telling and playing, exploring the often blurred lines between fiction and reality.

Tall Tales, Friday 21st October to Wednesday 21st December, visit during GWL opening hours

Traveling between London, Lancashire and now Glasgow, the tour has evolved along the way and includes new commissions, ranging from performance, writing and sculpture, to installation. The exhibition features Lauren Sagar’s Call for Cloth, a collaborative project bringing together stories of cloth and memory, donated by the public.
