American artist Sharon Hayes is joined in conversation with Alice Andrews of Glasgow Women’s Library on the occasion of Hayes’ presentation of ‘In My Little Corner of the World, Anyone Would Love You’ at The Common Guild.
Hayes’ project draws upon archival newsletters and small-run publications from the US and UK produced by lesbian, feminist and effeminist political collectives in the 1960s and 1970s, including those held in the archive of Glasgow Women’s Library. Hayes’ and Andrews’ discuss the significance of these archives, the relationship between communication and isolation, as well as the critical debates that circulated in the early formation of lesbian, feminist and gay liberation political positions.
