Speaking Volumes

  • Name

    Speaking Volumes
  • About

    A collaborative project in between Glasgow Women's Library & My Bookcase for Glasgow International Festival 2016.

    Speaking Volumes will discover and foreground the women that have influenced contemporary artists, curators and critics through capturing and displaying the texts recommended by those involved in GI 2016.

    Books will be activated through a programme of public events; creating a dedicated space where reflection on the often eclipsed but influential and multifaceted role of women on art and creativity is encouraged through the object of the book.
