Glasgow International Festival of Contemporary Art

Launch Party for Volume 3 of The Burning Sand

In a dark setting, a man is looking at and working on a DJ console. There is a laptop in front of him.
A person is sitting in the corner of a room which has dim red lighting. They are reading a book. The title of the book is "The Burning Sand".
In a dark room lit in different colours, there is smoke, and a woman speaking into a microphone while looking into a piece of paper. On there side there is a woman standing and taking a picture of her with her phone and a photographer taking a picture of her, in front of her, with a DSLR camera.
A woman is neatly dressed, with hair tucked behind her ear. She is holding a microphone with one hand, while looking in a downward direction.
