Illuminated Letters
Date: 8 – 24 March 2014
Space: Balcony 1
This exhibition celebrated International Women’s Day and was the culmination of the year-long partnership between GoMA and Glasgow Women Library (GWL).
Inspired by the glorious letter writing of Niki de Saint Phalle, and the Library’s wish to receive letters in their new home, GoMA and GWL invited women across the world to write illuminated letters of love and honour to lost heroines. The main theme was ‘Inspiring Change’ in terms of gender equality and human rights. The beautiful and inspiring letters exhibited represented some of the wonderful women whose lives, histories and achievements can be found on the shelves at GWL.
