Funded by the former Scottish Arts Council’s Public Art Fund (now Creative Scotland), and inspired by Glasgow Women’s Library’s (GWL) move to the Mitchell Library, the Making space team - artists, Nicky Bird and Shauna McMullan and project adviser Fiona Dean, worked with GWL staff, volunteers, Library users and learners to research the possibilities of a new public artwork for Glasgow Women’s Library.
This film by Fast Forward Play explains the motivation behind the project and its processes of development, including the role of the Making Space group in finding meaningful ways to involve a diversity of women in processes of development, alongside the artists’ practices.
