Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://talltalestouring.com:
Tall Tales was a national touring programme which brought together the work of 17 international women artists who employ the playful use of storytelling techniques in the making of their work. Stories have been shared for centuries and across every culture as a means of entertainment, cultural preservation and education. The artists in Tall Tales used storytelling techniques to toy with our perception of myth, reality, the public and private, ideas on difference, as well as question our assumptions. Their works revealed uncanny scenarios, sometimes pointing to personal stories but more broadly, issues pertinent to society at large and what we might call ‘the human experience’.

The Tall Tales programme traveled across the length of the country, from London and Rochdale to its most recent location Glasgow. Now the tour has come to an end we are delighted to share documentation of the exhibitions and performances at each of our partner venues. Simply click on the venues below to see more of our Tall Tales tour [continues]... Tall Tales' culminating exhibition took place within the beautiful Glasgow Women’s Library. With artwork from all 17 of our artists, as well as artwork created by the Glasgow Women’s Library members themselves (for the Call for Cloth project), Tall Tales filled every nook and cranny of the venue! The full exhibition was on display between 21 October – 22 December 2016.
