Hung Out To Dry
September 2018
Continuing her approach of combining personal story with social history and psychology, Donna has been working with Govanhill Baths Community Trust to create this short performance 'Hung Out To Dry' (to abandon someone who needs help).
As part of the performance local women discuss their experience of Glasgow's wash-houses; Victorian attitudes to 'poorer brethern'; modern conveniences and modern life; mothers and daughters and the future of dirt!
"But to the beggar and the king
Clean linen's a reviving thing..."
Hung Out To Dry was performed at the Talk of the Steamie Conference at Govanhill Baths on Wed 5th September 2018. It was also exhibited at the Talk of the Steamie exhibition until Fri 28th September 2018.
Talk of the Steamie is a pilot project by Govanhill Baths Community Trust. We wish to establish a Museum of the Steamie when we reopen as a Health & Wellbeing Centre.
The project was supported by Museums and Galleries Scotland and we greatly appreciate the use of images from Glasgow City Archives.
