14/10/2026

Next weekend! Join us for 𝓗𝓪𝓻𝓹𝔂 an expanded performance by artist Eden Dodd - one night only on Saturday, 24 October, 7:30-9pm at 5 Florence St.

Through the mythological creature of the Harpy, a winged woman and monstrous female-bird hybrid, Eden Dodd narrates a story of transition and healing in the toxic sludge of the present. The performance uses these narrative frameworks to question the conditions and power relations necessary for dehumanisation/humanisation, in a contemporary character study split between two personae: Harpy and her Perceiver.

“...Like pigeons, their human-half desires to be close to other humans, they speak english, and will have been at one point fully human, but through their transition (medical, magical, or otherwise), they are seen as outsiders – too close to something greater and therefore frightening.

They roost in ruins of human habitations, memories of their human past driving them to seek sanctity in something resembling the homes they grew up in and desire to be able to thrive in, but are currently being hounded by the ‘good’ people of our current increasingly-conservative society.”

– Eden Dodd.

🪽𝓗𝓪𝓻𝓹𝔂– expanded performance by Eden Dodd
🪽23 October, 5 Florence St, G5 0YX, 7:30pm

Don’t forget to book your tickets for 𝓗𝓪𝓻𝓹𝔂, an expanded performance by multi-disciplinary artist Eden Dodd, curated by 16 Collective, one night only on 23 October 7:30pm at 5 Florence Street.

Eden Dodd takes the mythological creature of the Harpy, a winged woman and monstrous female-bird hybrid, to narrate a story of transition and healing in the toxic sludge of the present.

The figure of the Harpy first appears in Greek mythology as ‘fair, locked and winged maidens’. They are often depicted as simple creatures driven by animal instinct, subservient to male deities. Alternately, they are intelligent and capable of human speech, and were once considered the same as sirens, wielding hypnotic songs as a tool of power.
The performance uses these narrative frameworks to question the conditions and power relations necessary for dehumanisation/humanisation, in a contemporary character study split between two personae: Harpy and her Perceiver.
The sculptural set is a faraway nest, a protective deterrent for predators (humans) and persecution, where the harpy inhabits a corrupted, sacred reflecting pool. Here, putrescence acts as a magical influence on her surroundings. Through toxic sequestration, the harpy character embodies the ‘sin-eating’ healer, one who absorbs environmental and metaphysical pollution into herself as both physiological deterrent, and altruistic sacrifice.

Final days to see 𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘴/𝘢𝘴 open 12 - 6pm until this Sunday 21st June for Glasgow International feat. artists Matthew Cosslett, Maria Howard, Zsuzsanna Ihar, Coneffluents, Sonia Levy and Bint Mbareh, Extense, and Camara Taylor.

Taylor’s work 𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑡𝑙𝑒𝑑 (𝑡𝑜𝑤𝑎𝑟𝑑𝑠 𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑏𝑎) takes the form of a storyboard for a film never realised. A thermal print strip on receipt paper unfurls, sequencing the artist’s ongoing inquiry into cyclical timelines of racialised violence on the Clyde, from 1919 to 2019.
The film dredges through the Clyde’s silted riverbed for imperial debris, asking what makes possible a hundred-year loop of racial violence: from the Broomielaw Race Riots of 1919, in which an armed mob of hundreds of white shipyard workers attacked a group of Black, African, Chinese and South Asian sailors, to 2019, when a Black man fleeing police died in the River Clyde.
Through Taylor’s storyboard, the image stack accumulates like history: layers pressing against the unseeable. Situated against a wall coated in Blackstrap molasses, a material vestige of colonial plantation-economy trade in sugar and rum along the Clyde, the work questions what remains ungrieved in the river silt.

𝑇h𝑒 𝐸𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝐸𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑎 𝐷𝑦𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑟 by Extense draws on the field of nuclear semiotics (the study of how to communicate warnings about nuclear waste to future generations across timescales beyond the imagined lives of the present). The installation uses visual forms from the Hunterston nuclear power stations A and B to draft fragile codes and messages; taking up the semiotics of warning as a form of transtemporal care. Thistles appear out of steel, referencing plants that invade and remediate contaminated post-nuclear landscapes, and the field of spiked forms iconic of early nuclear semiotics. Metal plates are corroded and etched through electro etching, using salt water collected by the artists from the Firth of the Clyde, enacting an accelerated process of decay, akin to the suspension and reorganisation of time in an always deferred field.

Open now in Tuesday to Sunday, 12-6pm: River is/as is a group exhibition presented by 16 Collective that takes the River Clyde as a critical geography: infrastructural, social, and ecological.

The research-led exhibition shares a new body of works reflecting over two years of collective artistic fieldwork, research voyages, and collaborative field study along the Clyde River corridor, by artists Matthew Cosslett, Maria Howard, Zsuzsanna Ihar, Coneffluents (Jac Common and Katy Lewis Hood), Sonia Levy and Bint Mbareh, Extense (Dianne Burdon and Clara Hancock), and Camara Taylor.
River is/as occupies a hydrological vantage point on Glasgow, understanding the river Clyde as a vessel of multiple and overlapping stories, subjects, and social imaginaries of the city.

Featuring immersive installations, moving images, and sonic environments, the project maps the Clyde’s sedimented histories and infrastructural futures.

Presented as part of Glasgow International 2026. Supported by Creative Scotland and the access grant.

We would like to invite you to two workshops with that bring together poetry and DIY microbiology as ways of sensing the Clyde and its microbial inhabitants.

What languages and practices might we need to reach for or dream up in relating to rivers beyond extractive and anthropocentric ways of thinking?

If you want to show the council your water is polluted, what could a poem do to help?

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 𝟭: 𝗥𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀/𝗮𝘀 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲
📆 15 June, 3-5pm
📍Glasgow Green (meet at 5 Florence st.)

We’ll explore ways of sampling bacterial life in the River Clyde, practising and playing with DIY microbiology methods alongside creative prompts. We’ll use field lab equipment to take water samples from the river, and follow some scientific recipes to grow the bacteria that call the water and soil home.

The bacterial ‘cultures’ we collect will then be housed in the exhibition space, where they’ll incubate and grow before the second workshop.

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 𝟤: 𝗥𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀/𝗮𝘀 𝗩𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗹
📆 20 June, 12.45-2.45pm
📍Tramway (meet at reception)

This workshop will involve collaborative creative writing with each other and the microbes from the Clyde. In it, we’ll work with bacterial samples that have been incubating in the exhibition space, trying out different ways to perceive the river taken out of the river. What can we sense through slime, shimmer, transparency, yellowing? What if there’s ‘nothing’ there?

Alongside the bacterial cultures, we’ll assemble and respond to other materials – plants, DIY nutrient broth, environmental reports, local knowledge – through poetic experiments. . From what emerges through the workshops (both writing and bacteria!), we hope to generate a polyvocal text that we can share in the workshop.

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 is a hybrid work and research group consisting of Katy Lewis Hood and Jac Common, which attends to q***r, anticolonial, and nonhuman lifeways in wet-land ecologies.
