Galoshans Festival: Moving Out Symposium Live Blog 1

Arts and Public Engagement

Radical content and integrity of purpose... a debate that has been running for the best part of three decades...

an exploration into the innovative but often challenging range of art taking place outside conventional venues....

THE INTRODUCTION

Galoshans is specific to Greenock. It means 'guising'  young people performing to each other at Halloween - the Americans nicked the idea for trick or treating.

Halloween a time when two worlds touch (the supernatural and the natural).
