The First Waves exhibition speaks of women's experiences of Race Relations across Glasgow through photographic portraits and digital audio works crafted by Scarlett Crawford, UK Parliament Artist in Residence.
This exhibition, in partnership with the Rise Up Quines! Festival, features unique materials from Glasgow Women’s Library’s museum and archive collection.
It’s 1918 and Stella has lost her suffragette mother to the terrible flu pandemic that is sweeping Europe. The Great War is finally coming to a close, and women are going to be able to vote for the first time. Stella wants to change the world – but she can’t do it all by herself.
Maybe you have lived in Glasgow all of your life? Perhaps your parents came here for work or safety? Or maybe, like the artists, you came here from another country and have made Glasgow your home? These workshops with artists Sogol Mabadi and Birthe Jorgensen will share and hear women’s experiences, knowledge and expertise in terms of making and keeping a ‘home’ through conversation, audio recording and model making.
