GSA Archives & Collections collaborate with Maryhill Integration Network’s Oasis Women’s Group to present a new exhibition celebrating textile craft skills, community and cultural heritage.
6 Mar - 31 Mar 2026
Interwoven, a new exhibition at Window on Heritage, The Glasgow School of Art’s accredited museum space, brings together textile making and storytelling to explore memory, connection, and belonging. Created by members of Maryhill Integration Network’s Oasis Women’s Group, the exhibition is a creative response to The Glasgow School of Art Archives and Collections, celebrating community and the sharing of cultural heritage.
Participants drew inspiration from the collections to develop individual fabric panels, translating personal ideas and memories into textile form. These works were brought together as vibrant collages, forming a collective tapestry that weaves humour nostalgia, and storytelling through themes of home, family, love, and friendship.
Creative sessions led by artist Sara Abdelnasser Abdelkader provided space for learning, exchange, and collaboration. Multiple voices and perspectives emerge through the textiles and the stories that accompany them, reshaping how heritage collections are encountered and understood. These narratives are shared through wall texts and an accompanying booklet, extending the dialogue between the past and the present, the individual and the collective experience.
