📣📣📣 30 May, 7PM: Join us for moreiya’s upcoming show, Two Hours 📣📣📣

Arriving at the ellipsis of life, Two Hours surrenders an existentialist chronicle on the negative space that opposes the passage of Time. As the character attempts to define and settle the being in an ever moving Present, the Past erupts to decipher early opaque memories of migration and assimilation.

For Two Hour’s book launch exhibition, moreiya presents a photo series and short film responding and distending the book’s narrative, as well as a performance-reading by the artist.

About the artist:

Born in Lisbon from Cape Verdean and Guinea-Bissauan parents, moreiya is a multidisciplinary artist working at the intersections of music, writing, photography and experimental video. Through phenomenology, memory, time, intergenerational relations and the inherent poetry and limitations of language, her work aims to apply an existential and decolonial lens to the perpetual entanglement of a diasporic saudade. 

Two Hours is her first full length near fiction body of work, blending poetic prose, phenomenology, poetry, screenwriting and internal discourse. 

*Show runs from 30 May to 4 June

📣 10 May, 7PM: Join artist Priscila Fróes for TranSardonic Chronicles!

Priscila Fróes works as a visual artist, she uses urban graphic art to promote discussions and reflections about the spaces occupied by tr****tis and transgender s*x workers in the cities of Brazil, as well as the reflections on the social vulnerability and risk endured by them by Brazilian society.

The exhibition features a retrospective of her past artwork, along with the presentation of new material never before shown, providing a closer examination of the daily life of a tr****ti s*x worker through photography.

Currently based in Glasgow, UK, Priscila was awarded the Chevening scholarship in 2021-2022 by the British government. She completed her master’s degree in Education for Sustainable Futures in Adult, Community & Youth Contexts at the University of Glasgow.

Shadows in a Theatre Box — 🔗 in bye-o

This is an exhibition of new work presenting Rachael Ryder’s ongoing research into community spaces as cultural spaces. Through community engagement, collaboration and documentary, this exhibition transforms a typical cultural space - a gallery - into a space more aligned with the interests of the project’s community participants.

Presenting collaborative moving image work and paintings by artist and researcher Rachael Ryder made with members of Central and West Integrated Network, the Wing Hong Chinese Elderly Centre, Age Scotland, and Mika Hairdressers, each conversation and each work, challenges the notion of cultural space. The show reimagines what cultural art spaces can be by platforming the voices we hear less often in the arts and sharing these ideas, words, art and experiments. What becomes clear in the work is the distinction between community space and cultural space and the need for cultural space transformed to serve communities.

Support good journalism with .scot | 🔗 in bye-o | In the early hours of Sunday, 3 May 2015 Police Scotland officers were called to Kirkcaldy in Fife after a Sheku Bayoh had been seen holding a knife. While restrained by up to six officers, he stops breathing. Many details of what happened that morning are in dispute. His devastated family are still searching for answers. They claim he is Scotland’s George Floyd. Police refute this.

Now a public inquiry – launched in May last year – is trying to find out what really happened.

Sheku Bayoh: The Inquiry is a new podcast from The Ferret, bringing you up-to-date with the evidence heard so far.

Visiting Hour is a FREE series of beginner photography workshops for the friends and family of people who are or have been in prison.

People on the outside have no opportunity to connect with each other, and no platform to share joy in, these workshops are an attempt to remedy that through the format of learning photography. Anybody in Scotland who is aged 18+ and visits a loved one in prison, or has experience of visiting a loved one in prison is welcome to apply.

The workshops will take place at Transmission Gallery, Glasgow and the dates are as follows:
16th February
23rd February
1st March
8th March
15th March
22nd March

There is a bursary for travel and childcare costs should any participant need them.

David Ronan is an artist based in Glasgow primarily working in dance and performance. Last year they became interested in photography after completing the Contact and Academy courses at Stills School. This series of free workshops is inspired by David’s own experience of visiting loved ones on the inside in Scotland.
