About this Event
Join the Gallery of Modern Art for a unique after-hours for a joint end-of-the-year celebration of the 30th anniversaries of GoMA and Indepen-dance.
With a programme including a talk, workshop and performances, there will be something for everyone!
6:15 pm - Talk: The Social Justice programme at GoMA
A conversation with Producer/Curator Katie Bruce and Victoria Hollows, Chief Executive at OneRen and former Museum Manager at GoMA. Chaired by Amanda Catto, this event looks at the history of the contemporary art and human rights biennial programmes and their legacy on the museum.
7:45 pm - Performance: The Inside Looking Out
The Inside Looking Out is a celebration of 30 years of Indepen-dance, Glasgow's pioneering inclusive dance company, and Glasgow's Gallery of Modern Art.
Created by choreographer George Adams with the Indepen-dance artists, this work offers a glimpse into the creative practice, ideas and artistic choices that emerge through dance training and collaboration.
Indepen-dance supports artists with and without disabilities to develop their skills, establish themselves as professional dancers and choreographers, and realise their creative potential.
Through movement, we explore how we make choices, express ourselves, and share our individual perspectives.
It's a celebration of artistic freedom, creative possibility and the right of everybody to dance, create, and be seen.
6-9 pm - Paper as Protest: Trans Zine-Making
Artists CT Pesquera and Arthur Frain will present 'Paper as Protest: Trans Zine-Making', a workshop inspired by the social justice history of zines. Participants will be invited to engage with zine history while creating their own works, with a focus on social justice and trans rights.
