How can walking help us to understand Glasgow’s hidden histories of empire? Dr Rosie Spooner has been leading critical heritage walking tours of Glasgow since 2017. Centring on Kelvingrove Park and Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum, the walks explore how Glasgow’s built environment and museum collections have been shaped by its involvement in chattel slavery, colonization and imperialism Dr Spooner joins Cia to share how these tours use walking as a decolonial heritage practice. The walks examine the ‘hidden’ histories of empire in these popular locations, and how this past has shaped Glasgow’s built environment and museum collections.  Find out more about Dr Rosie Spooner and her research. Register free for Rosie’s walks as part of Black History Month in Scotland Saturday 7 October 2023, 14:30 – 16:30: Museums, Empire & Difficult Heritage at Kelvingrove Art Gallery & MuseumPlease note that the walk of the park on Saturday 7 October 2023 has been rescheduled to Saturday 21 October.
