Spirit of Revolt's Workers City.

       Spirit of Revolt's latest Show and Tell FREE event is, from the feed back, looking like a very popular event. The line up of speakers is a roll-call of some of Glasgow's well known names, most of whom were involved in that wonderful event from the 1990's, Workers City, which was a counter organisation to Glasgow's European City of Culture. It highlighted that other culture, that of the ordinary people of the city and further afield.

     A lot has changed in our city since 1990, so this is a not-to-be-missed, event to remember the past, but also to see and assess where we are in today's culture of the ordinary people of our city.

     Approximately two weeks to go, so mark your diaries, tie a knot in your fingers, so as not to forget, keep that slot free, so that you can learn about the enthusiastic and radical thoughts and actions of that time, enjoy the open discussion, add your piece and take part as you please. See you there.

        Small correction regarding the coming Spirit of Revolt exhibition on The Rent Strike, 100 years on, being held in the Mitchell Library main foyer. The exhibition will start on November 2nd. as stated, but will close Saturday 28th. November, not the 29th. as previously stated, as the Mitchell Library is closed on Sundays. Sorry for the misinformation. Hope to see you all there with your comments and chat.

The Rent Strike, 100 Years On.

       Spirit of Revolt is putting on another exhibition in the foyer of the  Mitchell Library, Glasgow from November 2^nd. to November 29^th. The main theme will be The Rent Strike, 100 years on. We are sure there is a lot of interest in this subject, and we hope that this exhibition will help feed and maintain that interest. The history of the struggles of the ordinary people is seldom fully recorded, but we should never let it be lost, to this end the Spirit of Revolt collects, catalogues and publishes on line, as much of the struggles of the ordinary people of Glasgow and Clydeside, as we can get our hands on. It is our history, our culture of struggle for a better life, if we don't record it it will be lost, and we become a people without a history, a people without a culture. If this exhibition is as successful as the last one we put on at the same venue, the group will be extremely pleased. Our history is important to us all, as well as future generations, so do spread the word, come along, bring some friends, make your comments, we welcome your feed-back.
