Aqsa Arif – Beneath the Ivory is Molten Brown
We are pleased to announce Beneath the Ivory is Molten Brown by Aqsa Arif, the companion exhibition in our upcoming two-part presentation at Street Level Photoworks, opening on 5th of June as part of Glasgow International Festival.

Opening reception: Thursday 4th June, 5–8pm

Beneath the Ivory is Molten Brown combines moving image installation and textile photo prints, crafting a narrative of the Lakshmi/Yakshi/Nymph, oscillating between South Asian ancestral memory and western assimilation.

Drawing on resonances between South Asian and Greco-Roman mythic forms, Aqsa embodies the misnamed “Pompeii Lakshmi,” a first-century CE Indian ivory statuette discovered in 1938. Estranged from her origins as a yakshi and reshaped through translation and reclassification, her avatar becomes a site of composite identity, reflecting historical Roman practices in which imported deities and motifs were absorbed, adapted, and transformed within visual culture.

Beneath the Ivory is Molten Brown: Supported by Hope Scott Trust and Street Level Photoworks. Additionally supported by Glasgow International with funds from the Scottish Government's Festival EXPO Fund.

Ayesha Jones – The Backbone
We are pleased to announce The Backbone by Ayesha Jones, one part of our upcoming two-part exhibition at Street Level Photoworks, opening on 5th of June as part of Glasgow International 2026.

Opening reception: Thursday 4th June, 5–8pm

The Backbone is a photographic series exploring idiopathic scoliosis as a lens through which to illuminate the experiences of women who have historically been marginalised within medical discourse.

Combining documentary photography, self-portraiture, archival imagery, and collaborative portraits with other women, the project examines the historical neglect and mystification of women’s bodies within modern medicine, alongside wider conversations around visibility, pain, care, and the systems we move within.

More information available via our website here https://www.streetlevelphotoworks.org/event/the-backbone-ayesha-jones

The Backbone is presented in association with GRAIN Projects and the Royal Photographic Society

Visitors of the Day: Robert Chambers, screenprinter and designer, and fellow designer Sam, both working on a commission nearby. Robert is owner of Social Recluse, one of the many independent stores in the vibrant area of the Trongate, where we are based. Social Recluse describe themselves thus: "We're a proudly independent streetwear label, drawing inspiration from the captivating worlds of music, football, and the diverse places our travels take us. We're enthralled by the art of good design and typography, the beauty in its simplicity, and the stories it tells."

Thanks for visiting - great to chat about the importance of the art, design, fashion and workshop initiatives in the neighbourhood.
