Celebrating Weemin's Wark in Lockdown

We are delighted to be able to go ahead with our digital event that is jam packed with art, poetry and sound work made over the last 6 months as part of the Weemin’s Wark project.

The event will take place on 26th January, from 6 - 7.30pm

We would be delighted for you to join us for an evening celebrating Weemin’s Wark! The project has taken place over the last year between Glasgow Women’s Library and Shetland. Gaada commissioned 6 exhibitions, a piece of writing, a publication and created a new activist archive that documents the work of activists striving to get equality in Shetland’s largest fire festival. The project has been challenging, beautiful and powerful, and we would love to see lots of faces celebrate the work of all the amazing activists (UHA4A) and artists who have given so much to the project.*
