Unco: LGBT+ Scots Glossar
This event marks the launch of the lexicon with a specially-commissioned spoken word and music performance from Harry Josephine Giles and Malin Lewis.
About Unco: LGBT+ Scots Glossar
Unco is a project to create a new Scots lexicon of LGBT+ words.
Developed with LGBT+ Scots speakers, Unco reaches into the Scots language kist o riches and making new words where they’re needed. These words are a proposal for how LGBT+ people can talk about themselves in Scots, and are offered as a gift to the future.
This event marks the launch of the lexicon with a specially-commissioned spoken word and music performance from Harry Josephine Giles and Malin Lewis. Weaving old and new language together with old and new sounds, these two artists explore queer identities, histories and creative futures.
The performance will be followed by a discussion with the artists about their approach to creating art that connects Scottish tradition with ideas that look to the future, and on the process of creating the lexicon.
