Palaces, Ballrooms & Battling Betty McAllister: Hidden Histories of Art & Culture in Glasgow’s East End
Barker uses live performance and spoken word poetry to re-tell ancient myths through the lens of her own unconscious associations. She has produced a new meditative sequence of short aural pieces, The Lives of Saints, evoking the stories of women including Saint Teneu and the lost witch Maggie Wall.
We run. We walk. We run is a new sound piece created by Kim Moore using binaural recordings of real and unreal spaces inspired by histories and stories of women and walking in Glasgow’s East End.
Both artists’ sound pieces are to be experienced in and around Bridgeton, the new neighbourhood of Glasgow Women’s Library.
This work has been supported by Glasgow International and we would like to say a special thanks to all the volunteers who helped with the development of this work, particularly Carolann Burns and Platform Arts for their support in recording Ruth Barker’s piece.
