Linder & Adele Patrick: Gimme Danger

Linder is one of Britain's great pop­-culture provocateurs: a post-punk musician and widely exhibited photocollage artist (infamously on the sleeve of the Buzzcocks' 'Orgasm Addict' single). Here she’ll collide in discussion with the amazing Adele Patrick – a coach, mentor, writer, and co-founder of the iconic Glasgow Women’s Library, Patrick has collaborated with, curated and commissioned works from some of the most significant feminist artists working today including Linder. Hear both of these powerful creatives discussing feminism, fashion, creativity, building upon the release of the Linder’s retrospective, Danger Came Smiling. Chaired by Edinburgh Art Festival director Kim McAleese.
