Thinking Culture

Thinking Culture is a programme of events and activities which aims to enrich the cultural life of Glasgow by bringing academics, artists, and audiences into meaningful conversation through the creative arts.

In a play written in 1895, Nina is like the seagull that is shot by a man who is in love with her. A writer, who she is in love with, arrives and foretells that because he is bored, he will ruin her too – like the man ruined the seagull.Seagulls make the most uninhabitable places home – they call it ‘homing. Like a volcanic island that broke the surface of the sea to the south of Iceland in 1963 – no birds could nest in those conditions, but thousands of great black-backed gulls came, transferred fertiliser and nutrient from ocean to rock, and made a dead world live.Now, we join Nina as she sets out on a journey to find an uninhabitable place to call home, searching for the contours between real and not, flesh and thermoplastic, bird and woman (herself and the seagull). In navigating the metaphors that mark her life, she is assisted by two women.This project is supported by Thinking Culture funding 2023-24, awarded to PhD student <a href="https://www.gla.ac.uk/pgrs/goncayalcin/" title="https://www.gla.ac.uk/pgrs/goncayalcin/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Gonca Yalcin</a> and collaborator Katie Moody.
