Teneu is a book of commissioned texts featuring the work of nine artists and writers collated by Glasgow-based publishers, Rosie's Disobedient Press. 

This collective project focuses on the mythology of Teneu, also known as St. Enoch, Glasgow's forgotten mediaeval first mother and parent to St. Mungo, the city’s patron saint. St. Enoch is rumoured to be buried under Glasgow city centre's largest shopping centre, a dominating glass pyramid building and the only thing in the city that bears her name. Rosie’s views Teneu as a way of narrating the complexities and heartbeats of the city that, at points, everyone in the collection has called home. The work is a collective response to Teneu and her histories. It asks: who gets to be included in the mythologies of the places we live? 

TENEU runs in collaboration with Rosie's Disobedient Press' project for Edinburgh Art Festival 2024, 'I am writing in search of', which reflects on a city's often overlooked enclaves during times of cultural spectacle
