Speaking Volumes reading room project will create space to reflect on the influential role of women in art through the object of the book. It is part of Glasgow International Festival of Visual Arts (GI) a biennial festival of contemporary art showcasing the best of local and international art and the project is a collaboration between My Bookcase and GWL.
Think lunchtime is just about what’s on your sandwich? Think again! Pull up at chair at our weekly Story Café, sit back with your cuppa and travel the world, one tale at a time. We’ve read about barefoot, pioneering climbers in Snowdonia, globe-trotting, fearless matriarchs from India, and fabled heroines on dangerous quests in Afghanistan.
Speaking Volumes books will be activated through a series of important conversations between international and Glasgow-based creatives. Conversations will revolve around the often eclipsed but influential and multifaceted role of women on art and creativity.
