In the Folds is an installation created by Alexandra Compton, a writer and artist from Bridgeton, Glasgow. Combining papercrafting, writing, and activism, the project examines Alexandra’s life as a queer, working-class, chronically ill woman. With newspaper headlines alongside her own writings, handwritten onto origami paper and then folded into paper cranes, In the Folds interrogates who gets to be ‘in the fold’ or excluded within society, art, and literature. What can you see on the cranes?

This exhibition is free. Just drop in during GWL opening times.
