Visiting β€˜The City’ exhibition? Pick up a free zine by commissioned writer Elouise Blackburn, connecting the show to AGA’s collection and mapping queer, working-class Glasgow through objects, stories, and radical care.

I enjoy long form videos about Scottish history, ancient history, and sometimes just local culture. Bruce Fummey is one of my favourite YouTubers.

All I want is for me and my friends to make art without worry. I don't think that's too much to ask.

🍊 Tangerine Dream @crisppacketpoetry at @thegladcafe remembering and celebrating the old Glasgow Subway trains (and lamenting how rubbish the new ones are). One of my fave poetry nights I’ve been to in ages.
