This video is from From https://spiritofrevolt.info/audio-video/ Collection. An event put on by Spirit of Revolt to remember and learn from Glasgow's Workers City group (1988 - 1993). It was a Spirit of Revolt Show And Tell event, well attended and enjoyed. Hope you enjoy and perhaps learn something from this.
Spirit of Revolt Archive hold lots of outreach events, where we try to bring the people to the archive, and bring their history to the people of Glasgow/Clydeside area. Some of these events are held in the Mitchell library, others in various venues across the city. Our most recent event was "Workers City" where we tried to bring to a wider public some of the flourishing activism in Glasgow of the period 1988-1993.
you can view it here and perhaps it will encourage you to delve a little deeper into our vast collection historical documents, serials, letters, pamphlets, posters, photos, memorabilia, our audio and video collection and much much more. It is your history, a history you should be very proud of and share.
A display of material from Spirit of Revolt collections and a
discussion, led by Tommy Kayes with James Kelman, Brendan McLaughlin,
Billy Clark, Michael Donnelly, Ruth Gillett, Paul Anderson, Euan
Sutherland and others on the formation and actions of the Workers City
group (1988 - 1993).
From the Blythswood Room, 5th Floor, The Mitchell Library, Glasgow.
A wee reminder, just a couple of days to go before the, not to be missed, Spirit of Revolt's FREE event, Show and Tell, Workers City, at the Mitchell Library. Workers City was a series of events that took place in Glasgow 1989-1991, organised by writers, artists, poets, activists and a melody of other Glaswegian stalwarts. It was a counter to the events being organised by Glasgow City Council during Glasgow's European City of Culture year. Some of those present for this open discussion were involved in organising the Workers City event, and it should prove to be both informative and entertaining.
On display at the event, for your perusal before the open discussion starts will be a selection of material from he Spirit of Revolt Archive, relating to those events during Workers City. Come along look, listen, contribute, enjoy and learn a little bit more about the grassroots history of your city.
Details: Free event. Spirit of Revolt, Workers City, 12noon-2:00pm. Blythswood Room Mitchell Library, Glasgow.
