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.
As the #metoo movement continues to gather force, and female stars wear black to the Golden Globe awards, this screening and workshop pauses to reflect on some of the female filmmakers who have preceded the current furore, using film to campaign for feminism, and feminism as the underlying force, in films which range from the confrontational and personal, to the experimental and poetic.
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.
