The work of women photographers
Join us to discover the work of Margaret Tait and other women photographers.
The event by ‘Margaret Tait 100’ – a year-long centenary celebration programme about Tait’s work – will commence with a symposium that reflects the use of everyday subjects in the work of women photographers, considering topics such as the politics and aesthetics of the everyday, feminist practices, and tensions between amateur and professional approaches. Speakers include: (Annette Kuhn (keynote address), Laura Guy (Newcastle University), Jenny Brownrigg (Glasgow School of Art), and Sarah Neely (University of Glasgow).
Following the symposium, a screening of Ute Aurand’s new film Rushing Green with Horses + films by Margaret Tait will take place. The Berlin-based filmmaker presents a programme of work on the occasion of Scottish film pioneer Margaret Tait’s centenary year: “RUSHING GREEN WITH HORSES is a collection of brief observations and encounters, filmed between 1999 and 2018 at home and while travelling, with friends and alone. . . . We see the same people at various ages, as a child, a teenager, a young woman…The magic of moving images and sounds echoes from the past into the present.”— Ute Aurand
