Code-Switching & Other work

This solo presentation of new work from Montreal-based artist Nadia Myre responded to the history of clay tobacco pipe production in Glasgow and its entanglement with the city's colonial past. A by-product of the tobacco trade with the so-called new world, the pipes were one of the first 'disposable' items to enter the market, purchased pre-stuffed with tobacco. Curated by Mother Tongue, Myre's new work explored processes of imprinting, documenting, weaving and excavating to ask enduring questions around colonial legacies.
