Ali Smith & Sarah Wood: Gliff

Monday 28 October 2024, 7 p.m. · 55 minutes

Gliff forms the first part of a duology; its title, the Scots word for a glimpse or shock, will be echoed but not replicated in the forthcoming Glyph. In a dystopian, Kafkaesque fictional lanscape, Smith explores how we make meaning and are made by it, and what it would actually mean for the next generation to sort out our increasingly toxic world.

Smith was reading from the novel, and in conversation with artist and filmmaker Sarah Wood.
