GIRL is a participation project inspired by Antiguan writer Jamaica Kincaid’s poem of the same name. Using sound, text, film, music, movement and testimonies workshops will explore, within a Scottish context, the rules we learnt from our mothers, grandmothers or pass on to our daughters that inform our contemporary sense of womanhood.
