Join us at GWL to experience inspiring new commissions by artists Ruth Barker and Hannah Leighton-Boyce.
Glasgow Women's Library is the first pop-up venue for Artemisia Gentileschi's Self Portrait as Saint Catherine of Alexandria, an oil painting from about 1615–17, as it makes its way on a 'grand tour' from the National Gallery, London.
This exhibition supports visitors to consider the social history of objects relating to women’s history, illustrating their historical and contemporary inequality – and linking interpretation with political campaigns for reform such as reproductive rights, domestic abuse, maternity leave, equal pay, women's suffrage, sexual harassment, and sexual violence.
On Friday 15th March 2019 we will launch our Decoding Inequality sectoral report, sharing our equalities-led approach to object interpretation with museum and archive colleagues in the sector.
Colleagues will have the opportunity to visit the Decoding Inequality exhibition, learn about the emerging object narratives, learn more about the why and how of a 'feminist interpretation strategy' and try out our approach themselves.
Join us for a range of GWL’s bitesize learning including scrapbooking, badge making, African beadwork, film screenings and much more.
