Decoding Inequality: Exhibition

Glasgow Women's Library 23 Landressy Street, Glasgow

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. 

‘Decoding Inequality: Analysing Collections’ Sectoral Event

Glasgow Women's Library 23 Landressy Street, Glasgow

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.
