🪡 Unfolding, Unpicking, Repairing: an Interview with Delaine Le Bas

This summer, Delaine Le Bas took over the vast main gallery of Glasgow’s Tramway to create an immersive, richly textured world where multiple voices and visions collide. A space of protest, peace, pain, and communion, Le Bas’ Delainia: 17071965, Unfolding challenges the narratives that underpin our society and culture, confronting viewers with questions about their own complicity in power and prejudice that oppress marginalised communities. A slogan scrawled on the gallery wall warns ‘Beware Linguistic Engineering’, a sentiment that echoes through the exhibition, as Le Bas interrogates myths, stereotypes, and the exclusionary nature of the word.
