Glasgow International 2026 Spotlight 💡

Light Sown in Memoriam, Bex Šik, Natasha Thembiso Ruwona, Adam McNeil

Presented by Listen Gallery @listengallery

Light Sown in Memoriam is an experimental self-guided walking and listening experience set within the Glasgow Necropolis. Curated by Listen Gallery, the project brings together three artists, Bex Šik, Natasha Thembiso Ruwona, and Adam McNeil, to create site-responsive sound works shaped by sonic practice and somatic awareness.

Accessed digitally and encountered on foot, the triptych audio work invites audiences to move through the Necropolis as both landscape and living archive. Hidden narratives, religious iconography, colonial extraction, slavery, and the accumulation of wealth that underpinned the city’s expansion resonate within the stone, soil, and pathways of the site.

Through their distinct practices, the artists invite listeners to reflect on how these histories are held and felt within their own bodies, approaching the Necropolis as walking sociology, topography, and psychogeography. The sound journey encourages re-listening to a historical site whose legacies remain active, unfolding through memory, power, and place.
The audio tour is accessed on site via QR code using your own mobile device with mobile data.

Visitors are encouraged to bring their own headphones, as only a limited number will be available to hire.
For more information on access, equipment hire and location of the information desk, please visit listengallery.co.uk

There will be guided tours as part of this project:
Wed 10th of June, 5 - 7pm
Thu 18th of June, 5 - 7pm (BIPOC tour with Natasha Thembiso Ruwona)

📍Light Sown in Memoriam is at Glasgow Necropolis, Ladywell Street, G4 0UZ, 5 – 21 June. Please visit our website for the full opening dates and times.

I am delighted to share the print I made in collaboration with @listengallery

The artwork celebrates the power of slowing down and taking time to listen, together.

Available via the link in my bio, and at the @solidarityscreeningsglasgow fundraiser on the 25th April.

We started working on this project at the beginning of this year, and in that time the gallery has been forced to move out from their physical premises. Now more than ever they need support - and purchasing this print will help that!

Dear listeners,
After a short interlude, I feel ready to share a bit about what’s been happening over the past few months.

It’s been really tough. Times of rupture bring so much to the surface, structurally but also personally. I’ve been noticing a lot about how I respond in my body, and how others respond too.

I’ll start with the York Street / Outerspaces situation. There’s a lot about the intention of that organisation that I believe in, but our experience of the reality, especially in terms of care and accountability, was really difficult.

During our time there, we were holding a lot. Partnerships, large events, urgent responsive programming. At the same time, we were dealing with ongoing issues in the building. No heating for long periods, unannounced inspection visits, being treated differently to other tenants, and having our Palestinian flag removed. After we hosted the Liberated Zone and the police showed up, there was a noticeable shift in how we were treated.

I am so grateful for the memories we created there as a community, and for the space Outerspaces made possible. But throughout all of it, it felt like our needs were constantly secondary to the landlord, and we were made to feel disposable within a structure that claims to be an “alternative” for artists.

Then came the eviction and closure, we recieved no practical support from Outer Spaces. After five years of Listen Gallery as a POC founded and run space in Glasgow, we lost not just a venue but a space for marginalised communities, and a whole ecosystem of relationships, projects, and income. We had to cancel a lot, including local and international work we’d been building for years.

In that moment, I cancelled all upcoming programming except two events that had already paid for catering and space. Most people responded with real care and understanding, which I’m so grateful for. But there were also moments that showed me how quickly people can disappear when things become inconvenient.

Next up from the @mentalhealthfoundation  Art of Family Life creative workshops programme! 🔊

Open to anyone based in Glasgow with lived and/ or intergenerational experience of forced displacement/ seeking refugee protection. From April to June, creatives Riah Naief @listengallery, Luna Issa @_lunaissa and Mia Gubbay will be working collaboratively with groups to explore oral history through creative methods. 

Listening through Tongues: collective sound workshops exploring language, voice and memory (led by Riah Naief)

Listening Through Tongues is a series of three playful, collective sound workshops exploring language and voice, with a focus on the throat as an instrument and the tongue as an extension of memory, identity, and connection.  

Through gentle warm-ups, vocal play, call-and-response, and song-making, we will explore where language is held in the body and why it matters to share it through sound. The workshops will invite us to enter the body through listening and then move outward into sounding together, creating a collaborative space for creative exchange.  

If we choose to, we will share what we produce as part of an exhibition during Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival 2026.   

No previous musical or singing experience is necessary! Limited places available. 

📍@gatheringground, Old Basin House, 5 Applecross Street, G4 9SP 

📅 Tuesdays 10am - 2pm 21, 28 April, 5 May

🫒 Lunch and travel expenses included. Childcare and interpreter support are available on request. 

💌 Please get in touch with Soizig at scarey@mentalhealth.org.uk or on 07702 671965

Image Description:

A poster featuring a vivid pink background with red, brush-like strokes cutting across it, reading: "Love is Serving the Ears Now, compilation launch”. Larger text at the bottom right corner reads: “Sat 25 April, Glad Café 7pm” and "a night of music and film to fundraise for a new home for Listen Gallery." Listed sparsely are the performers’ names: Ellie Ford, Mercuro Chrome, Susannah Stark, Nat Raha and Aderayo. A QR code sits at the bottom left corner, alongside text that reads: ‘PWYC Tickets £3-£20.’

We are gathering to raise funds in support and solidarity with Listen Gallery and would love for everyone to join us,

We would not exist without Listen Gallery and the welcoming space that they provided us with for almost a year. We are grateful for the belief and support that Listen have shown this project and the care they have shown to our community.

We are honoured to have been a part of Listen, both in their small flat space, where we hosted our first screenings, and as a bright light in the pits of the financial district, where we were welcomed in at less than a moment’s notice, creating a true liberated zone.

We hold dear the countless events, cooking sessions, screenings, exhibitions, fundraisers, gigs and moments of intimacy, connection and care we have all shared at Listen.

By sheer brute force and stubbornness, Listen has been able to exist as an independent and entirely unfunded space, providing free warm meals, sliding scale events and a community space.

Listen has existed out of care and solidarity, in both its organising, curation and scope; always responsive to the people, especially those who are never made welcome within the arts without seeking to make itself profitable or even palatable to the art world.

The reality is that Listen has never managed to receive (adequate) funding because it is not a space that will ever be profitable. It is not made for the elite tastemakers but for regular people to break bread and experience art the way it was intended – collectively and personally, all at once.

We need to get together now and pour love into Listen. We need to find a space for Listen to live and help make it possible. Please, if you are able to support, give generously.

“Listen” has served our ears. Let’s give some love back now <3

By sheer brute force and stubbornness, Listen has been able to exist as an independent and entirely unfunded space, providing free warm meals, sliding scale events and a community space.

Listen has existed out of care and solidarity, in both its organising, curation and scope; always responsive to the people, especially those who are never made welcome within the arts without seeking to make itself profitable or even palatable to the art world.

The reality is that Listen has never managed to receive (adequate) funding because it is not a space that will ever be profitable. It is not made for the elite tastemakers but for regular people to break bread and experience art the way it was intended – collectively and personally, all at once.

We need to get together now and pour love into Listen. We need to find a space for Listen to live and help make it possible. Please, if you are able to support, give generously.

“Listen” has served our ears. Let’s give some love back now <3

Please find the Listen Gallery fundraiser in our bio.

We are gathering to raise funds in support and solidarity with Listen Gallery and would love for everyone to join us,

We would not exist without Listen Gallery and the welcoming space that they provided us with for almost a year. We are grateful for the belief and support that Listen have shown this project and the care they have shown to our community.

Thank you so much @listengallery for coming to my place and buying a textile piece from me. 💖 It was so great to meet you! 💖🕊️🌙

Also @listengallery are looking for a new space in Glasgow so get in touch if you have contacts, spaces, tips or any way of supporting this great space! @eleni.poulou @jackiepraxis @grahamje @urban_wayfaring_observations

So so excited to share some good news with you habibis! Listen Gallery is part of @gifestival again this year! Kicking off in June, we are busy supporting three super talented artists; #natashathembisoruwona @bexsik @adammcneilll develop experimental audio tours for the Glasgow Necropolis, a site so so so close to my heart. This is our first official outdoor public presentation and it has always been a dream to do this and couldn’t have done it without all the support from the GI team past and present and all the artists for their trust! There’s an amazing programme of things happening in and out of the festival during this time and we all deserve to come together, to support and celebrate each other across the city and Scotland, espc after some seriously challenging times for our sector. I am rooting for anyone doing cultural work no matter how big or small and so grateful to have a project like this to give me something to look forward to! Thank you to all our ancestors and those of the site, who will guide us on this project 💞

Some pictures of last week's show at @listengallery with Yan Jun and Sue Tompkins, courtesy of Matthew Arthur Williams. Thanks so much to everyone for coming, and for Listen Gallery's wonderful hosting 💞

The event was the last to take place at Listen Gallery. There's a fundraiser on their page just now to help them get the financial backing to secure a new spot. Please support them if you can!

It's now one month away until Counterflows Festival kicks off! We can't wait to welcome you all soon. There's still a few tickets available for the opening night and our clubnights if you want to join us.

Wishing you all a great March. See you all soon!
