Many Studios supports PACBI and the movement for a Free and safe Palestine. Since our inception in 2012, Many Studios has been committed to building equity and access to the arts in Glasgow, through workspace provision, international visual arts programming, and community projects. Today, we have a community of over 70 artists and artworkers working from our building in The Barras; an open-source event space; long-term, community-focused projects; and an international arts programme. We have also been providing free use of our events space for anti-racist, anti-imperialist, anti-colonial organising. The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) was initiated in 2004 to contribute to the struggle for Palestinian freedom, justice and equality. It advocates for a boycott of Israeli academic and cultural institutions that have deep and persistent complicity in Israel’s denial of Palestinian rights that are stipulated in international law. 🩷 🇵🇸

Whats on at Many Studios Tonight?! When everything’s starting to look the same, sound the same, and follow the same shortcuts, it’s easy to get swept up in that wave of sameness. Suddenly, you don’t sound like you anymore – and you’re not standing out. Lola Hoad from Good Call Studio is here to stop you drowning with her gift of a life jacket (in the form of a talk, workshop and Q&A at the next Jot). Jot is a free event series for people who write – that’s anyone from copywriters, to emerging creatives, to social media managers, and beyond. Find out more information on their instagram! @jotcommunity

Join us on Thursday 30 April for a conversation between Irineu Destourelles and curator and Many Studios founder Natalia Palombo to discuss ‘Thirty-two Texts with Distress’, a solo exhibition by Destourelles currently on view at the nearby Gorbals Public Library, and Destourelles upcoming project for Glasgow International. Destourelles’ work engages language as both subject and material — fractured, re-assembled and made visual across text, sound and installation. His conversation with Palombo will explore how the dialogue between artist and curator shapes ideas, structures projects and becomes a form of writing in itself.

We’re really pleased to be hosting ‘aweys gaun’ by Zoë Zo, Zoë Tumika & Zoë Guthrie (@ztumika ) at Many Studios for Glasgow International 2026. ‘aweys gaun’ portals to a dream that drenches over and seeps through the stories of Western modernity, specifically the chapters leading up and dedicated to an enlightened Caledonia. Propelled by pleasure, curiosity, and ancestral rhythms, ‘aweys gaun’ honours the longstanding “hereness” of Black life in Scotland, calling and responding to, swaying with, the Black Atlantic hum. Massaging the slippery matter of memory, Zoë Zo, Zoë Tumika & Zoë Guthrie presents a series of ceramic panels, vessels and works on paper along with an audio work made in collaboration with broadcaster, artist, and DJ Ashley Holmes (@ashley____holmes ) and a newly commissioned text from curator, artist, and writer Żżo Charlery (@zzo_cornelius ) Zoë Zo, Zoë Tumika & Zoë Guthrie is a Glasgow-based artist who engages with clay and image (re)production. Frameworks from Black Feminism, geographies, and studies, and African cosmologies underpin their approach to narrative building and dismantling, listening and questioning, and exercising of liberatory practices. They are currently in residency at Glasgow Sculpture Studios. Their work has been exhibited at the Reid Gallery, Glasgow, London College of Fashion, Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art, and Chelsea Space, London. Zoë Zo, Zoë Tumika & Zoë Guthrie is a studio holder at Many Studios, our industrious creative building in the heart of the Barras Market. aweys gaun is produced by Emmanuella Damptey and supported Many Studios, Glasgow Sculpture Studios, National Lottery through Creative Scotland, Stuart Hall Library & Iniva.

Event / Irineu Destourelles and Natalia Palombo In Conversation Join us on 30th April 6pm at The Common Guild for a conversation between @irineu.destourelles and our director @nataliamaria_p as part of @thecommonguild Library Sessions. We’ll discuss ‘Thirty-two Texts with Distress’, a solo exhibition by Destourelles currently on view at Gorbals Public Library, and Destourelles upcoming project for Glasgow International @gifestival . Destourelles’ work engages language as both subject and material — fractured, re-assembled and made visual across text, sound and installation. His conversation with Palombo will explore how the dialogue between artist and curator shapes ideas, structures projects and becomes a form of writing in itself. The discussion will reflect on joint projects including ‘Does it Fall from the Skies Above?’ and ‘Thirty-two Texts with Distress’, considering how conversation, process and partnership influence the final form of artworks.

Many Studios has been providing fantastic (if we say so ourselves) workspace and project space for nearly 15 years in Glasgow! When we took over a repurposed office space in Miller Street we knew it was imperative to find better, long term solutions to providing space for artists. We redeveloped an unused building in Barras Market and have been working hard since to ensure the conditions for long term commitment to our communities through physical space. We cherish this offer now more than ever. We need to work together as a sector to protect our spaces for artists and cultural production. Actions below. Repost from @glasgowprintstudio We need your support. Glasgow Print Studio is facing rising rent and increasing running costs, putting a vital creative space - and the artists who rely on it - at risk. For over 50 years, Glasgow Print Studio has been a place where people come to learn, make, and build sustainable creative careers. Losing it would mean losing access, opportunity, and an important part of Glasgow’s cultural life. Here’s how you can help: * Sign and share the petition (link in bio) * Buy an artwork and support an artist directly * Join a course and learn to print (link in bio) * Make a donation, if you’re able (link in bio) * Attend a peaceful protest and stand with us Join us to protest Friday 27 March, 12 till 2pm, 229 George St, Glasgow, G1 1QU Every action matters, and every bit of support helps protect this space for future generations of artists. Please share widely.

Coming up in @manystudios from @jotcommunity ! Tickets to the next Jot are live - and space is limited! Head to the link in their bio for yours. When everything's starting to look the same, sound the same, and follow the same shortcuts, it's easy to get swept up in that wave of sameness. Suddenly, you don't sound like you anymore - and you're not standing out. Lola Hoad from @goodcallstudio is here to stop you drowning with her gift of a life jacket (in the form of a talk, workshop and Q&A at the next Jot). What's in that life jacket, you ask? A deep dive into what it means to stand out in today's saturated culture of sameness, and some simple tools to help you find your way back to a voice that's unmistakably yours. Limited space, don't miss out!

Goings on in @manystudios event space, reposted from @mobileprintstudio ‘On Saturday we teamed up with @glasgowheritage for a woodcut print workshop at @manystudios , drawing inspiration from Glasgow’s iconic tenement tiles. Everyone was so creative! Look at these incredible results! #woodcutprintworkshop #woodcutprint #printmakingworkshop ‘

Tomorrow: Platform Asia Roundtable: Myth & Memory Join LUX Scotland for a screening and roundtable discussion with artists Hardeep Pandhal, Wei Zhou and Aqsa Arif as part of a collaboration with Platform Asia, focusing on recent works that explore Asian diasporic culture and identity in Scotland and across the UK through various modes of appropriated and transformed storytelling. Performance, myth and memory persist across the work of Pandhal, Zhou and Arif, as the artists adopt and reimagine forms of fantasy, folklore, rap music and narrative fragmentation. We'll have a free lunch provided by Milk Cafe during the event! 🗓️Saturday 14 March, 1–4pm 📍Many Studios, Glasgow 🎟️Free (ticketed) ☑️Captions and Live captions Following the screening, catering will be provided before an in-conversation with the artists and Moritz Cheung, Director of Platform Asia.

Platform Asia develops opportunities for Asian artists by presenting, discussing and creating works, while promoting Asian artists’ work to audiences. Calling the UK home, Platform Asia connects professionals and audiences interested in and new to Asian art and culture through a developing UK-Asia network and by showing work that inspires and builds appreciation of contemporary Asian art. _____ Images: 1.
