Studwork / Glasgow International






Studwork used video and installation to traverse the masculine territory of the building site. It grew out of real life encounters, agitprop feminist rehashing and online tutorials.





A study in alternative ways of learning, the cycle of the archive and a proposition for a feminist living space. Studwork depicted a community in Glasgow that has gathered around the learning of a trade.

This highlighted the feminist welding collective Slaghammers, the City Building apprenticship programme in Queenslie and the Women in Construction course at City of Glasgow College.
