Avid mother, reader, runner. Custodian of agrayarchive.bsky.social Curatorial practice centred on care.
Took the kids to explore the hauntingly beautiful ruins of St Peter’s Seminary near Cardross yesterday. Once a Roman Catholic seminary designed by Gillespie, Kidd & Coia, it’s now a modernist relic — described by Docomomo International as a “building of world significance.”

Last night, I finally watched Rebel Dykes, a powerful documentary tracing the journey of a tight-knit group of friends who first met in the 1980s at the Greenham Common peace camp and later became artists, musicians, performers, and activists in 1980s London. Highly recommend.
