_and friends is a live performance and artist development initiative founded by Catriona MacLeod in 2024. We run a rehearsal space as part of the Outer Spaces network that we offer to artists free of charge, and produce scratch nights in Glasgow three times a year. Each night is curated by a different artist from the pool of talent in their circle - one of the best things about the creative industries is that our colleagues often become our friends, and our nights are a chance to celebrate the connections we make through our work. We deeply care about changing the landscape of the industry so individuals feel seen and heard, and are able to continue their creative practice in a mindful and sustainable way.
Persistent and Nasty is a Glasgow-based intersectional feminist arts collective, podcast, and platform for change in the stage and screen industries. Were loud and proud about pushing for equity and radical kindness in the arts and beyond. As Scotland's first and best feminist arts podcast, we champion voices that dont often get handed the mic women, non-binary, trans, and marginalised creatives. Our goal is to change the cultural narrative through the stories we tell and we do that through community, disruption, and joy.
