Live: Women in the Arts

Oct 2, 2017

In this special episode, listen to a recording of our first live episode which took place at our Scotland's Feminist Future conference in September 2017. We were joined at the Glasgow Women's Library for a discussion on women in the arts in Scotland by a panel featuring:

• Ghizala Avan, actor who has appeared in films including Ken Loach's 'Ae Fond Kiss'
• Comedian Susan Morrison, who also treated us to a pre-recording comedy performance
• Janie Nicoll, visual artist and president of the Scottish Artists Union
• Karine Polwart, folk singer, songwriter and musician

We'd like to thank everyone who came along to our first live recording, and hope our subscribers enjoy listening. As always, let us know what you think on social media using #OntheEngender.

You can catch up with our fantastic panel of women in the arts across Scotland in November, and here are a few places you can find them:

• Karine will be performing Wind Resistance at the Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh from 3-11 November, and her new album, A Pocket of Wind Resistance, is released on 17 November.
• Ghizala will be taking part in a staged reading of Letters of Area C to mark 100 years since the Balfour Declaration on 2nd November in Edinburgh.
• Susan is the director of Previously, Scotland's History Festival, taking place from 17-26 November in Edinburgh, including a whole day marking the centenary of the death of Dr Elsie Inglis.
• Janie will be presenting a show with Eilidh Rutherford called 'For What it's Worth' at Glasgow International Festival of Contemporary Art.

There is not currently a transcript for this episode (but will be soon). You can find transcripts for our episodes from 2019 onwards.
