Seeing the city Do women have unique ways of seeing the urban world through the camera lens, art project, film, writing or creative practice, whether formally educated or not? How are seeing-making histories and practices in Scotland encountered, documented, sourced? Some current Scottish projects include: HerCentury: Scottish Women on Film (A Kind of Seeing Project, Shona Thomson, 2020) curates archive film from Scotland's National Moving Image Archive. Ways of Seeing: Women and Photography in Scotland (National Trust for Scotland and Glasgow Women's Library, 2020) reveals neglected stories of Scottish women in photography, including feminist social documentary photographer Franki Raffles, folklorist Margaret Fay Shaw. Modern Scottish Women. Painters and Sculptors 1885-1965 (National Galleries of Scotland, 2015-2016) is a survey of women working within artistic fields in this period. Women's voices in poetry are perhaps more present in recent Scottish culture. An Anthology of Scottish Women Poets (edited by Catherine Kerrigan, Edinburgh University Press, 1991) sought to gather many together. The event took place online via Zoom.
