21 revolutions - Ruth Barker

Glasgow Women's Library is a phenomenon, the sole resource of its kind in Scotland. To mark the Library's 21st birthday it commissioned 21 women artists to make limited edition fine art prints inspired by its library, archive and museum artefact collections. Artists have created work that draws on sources including campaing badges, knitting patterns, Suffragette memorabilia, album covers, feminist newsletters and lesbian dime novels; a selection of these inspirational objects from the GWL collections will be included in the exhibition. The selected artists are:


Sam Ainsley / Claire Barclay / Ruth Barker / Karla Black / Nicky Bird / Ashely Cook / Delphine Dallison / Kate Davis / Fiona Dean / Helen De Main / Kate Gibson / Ellie Harrison / Elspeth Lamb / Shauna McMullan / Jacki Parry / Ciara Phillips / Lucy Skaer / Corin Sworn / Sharon Thomas / Amanda Thomson / Sarah Wright


The exhibition was accompanied by reading events, gallery tours from the artist and archivists involved in the exhibition, and a heritage walk.
