Following Working Space Live will be an official after party hosted by our event partners The Skinny magazine. As part of The Skinny's 20th birthday celebrations, this event delves into the magazine archives to celebrate some of the GSA-associated artists, designers and architects who've featured in their pages over the last two decades. Taking place in the Assembly Hall in the GSA Students' Association, we have pulled together an exciting range of speakers, including artists, filmmakers, comedians and GSA Staff, who will be tackling the unpredictable 20 x 20 talk format (20 slides / 20 seconds per slide). Full list of speakers will be announced soon.

8:15 till close: The Skinny Presents, Honey, DJ Set.
The Victoria Café, The GSA Students’ Association.
After the 20x20, you can head down to the Victoria Café for DJ sets from Glasgow-based collective HONEY, self-described as the city's 'most misguided selectors.' Expect an all-female line-up, and an anything goes policy that spans garage, dance and trance classics and early 2000s europop – with an uncalled-for shoehorning of girlie-pop acapellas and bootlegs.
