Europe’s longest-standing artist-run gallery, established in 1983
Exhale will also explore the framing of racist incidents as ‘hate crime’ and find ways to keep each other safe instead of deferring to the authorities (using an ‘abolitionist’ approach).
This workshop is open to anyone looking for support and safety advice following the rise in recent attacks on marginalised communities. It is a space for people aged over 16 years old, who identify as both LGBT+/Queer and as Black or a Person of Colour.
The first half of the workshop includes a presentation, discussion, and the introduction of learning tools, which in the second part will be put into practice.
The workshop will last 3 hours, including a break, and are delivered by two QTIPOC+ facilitators.
This workshop emerged from work with Remember & Resist, a project by Daikon Zine to expand abolitionist thinking and practice within East and Southeast Asian diaspora organising in the UK. Bystander Intervention Scotland grew out of Glasgow Prisoner Solidarity.

The session brings together music from that time, a short live audio essay and informal conversation. The event looks at the many voices that shaped the sound, and the coded forms of resistance carried through music under political pressure.
Rather than treating popular music from that period as hedonistic or disposable, Bubblegum Resistance considers how sound can hold collective history, intergenerational memory, joy, and trauma in ways that continue to echo present time.

Celebrating pride before sponsors, before the stages, before the corporate floats — when there was a brick, a bar, and a group of trans women, sex workers, working-class queers, gay PoC and gender non-conforming people who fought back.

Developing a massive visual timeline of sex worker resistance in Scotland, through making a poster to wrap around the walls of Transmission Gallery in a public display, being shown in August 2026 and for further public poster displays.
The timeline will chart both government laws and the impacts those have. The timeline will move all the way from the Contagious Diseases Act of 1864, through to the present and potential future.
A chill but energising session inviting contributions of stories/opinions/ anecdotes from participants’ working life and multi media visual art (paint, collage, inks etc) to the timeline.

While mathematics is commonly presented as abstract and symbolic, mathematical work is grounded in visual thinking, intuition, experimentation, and personal motivation. Diagrams, sketches, spatial reasoning, gestures, and informal representations often precede formal notation, yet these processes typically remain invisible to wider audiences.
