Eh? Aye! The Artwork of Lorna Miller
Glasgow School of Art

 

CLIMBING up Garnethill last week, I wandered past the Glasgow Film Theatre festooned with the flag of Palestine as protesters stood in solidarity with the workers within who had chosen to serve solidarity rather than the products of companies profiteering out of the Israeli state’s illegal occupation.

Their victory in persuading their employer to do the right thing came as a result of concerted action when it was at its most visible, during the Glasgow Film Festival. 

Turning the corner to continue the climb onto Renfrew Street we are faced with the results of what happens when scrutiny fails. Appropriately enough, what remains of the once world-renowned Mackintosh building at the Glasgow School of Art remains under wraps.
