The whole splintering city

This mural, painted as a part of the 2019 celebration of the 30th anniversary of Glasgow’s Doors Open Days festival. Its location on Brown Street which runs between Argyle Street and the Broomielaw, is a bit out of the way, but it is worth taking a stroll to see it. Created by Cobolt Collective, comprising  Erin Bradley-Scott, Chelsea Frew, and Kat Loudon, an all-female team formed as a counter to the gender imbalance in the mural scene, it depicts Glasgow’s built heritage along with elements of the city's coat-of-arms (the bell, the fish, the bird, and the tree). The words are from a Liz Lochhead poem, The Bargain, and are a beautiful description of a Glaswegian’s relationship with her city.
