Speaking Volumes

Speaking Volumes was a collaboration between Glasgow Women's Library and My Bookcase to create a space where reflection on the influential role of women in art was activated through the object of the book.

Visitors and participants at the festival were invited to contribute their lists of recommended texts. The team at Glasgow Women's Library sourced these books, forming part of the collections on display at bespoke reading rooms created by artist and My Bookcase founder, Cristina Garriga. These collections formed an accessible post-festival legacy.

During the festival, Speaking Volunteers hosted discussions between international and Glasgow-based creatives around the women, art and books that have influenced their lives and work.
