July marked the calendar end of the one year residency, by artist Mandy McIntosh, between Glasgow Women's Library and Castlemilk Community. The residency focussed on action to spotlight violence against women, specifically referencing the Zero Tolerance campaign by Franki Raffles in 1994. The campaign archives are held by Glasgow Women's Library.
The residency work has included a range of public art devices, extensive signage, the renaming and occupation of The Suspension and Victoria bridges, as The Women’s Bridges and direct contact with services for women. The Women’s bridges flanked The Sherrif Court and demanded justice for all women facing male violence and abuse. This installation started for International 16 Days of Action 2014 and ended after International Women’s day 2015.
Visit the library between 25th November and 1st December to see the Kerry Conquers Among Other Women exhibition.
