Voices
The Voices anthology (2022) began life in 2017 as the Uncovered Voices project, which invited survivors to join a free series of creative writing workshops, facilitated by Safina Mazhar, Katy Hastie, Elizabeth Reeder, Nadine Aisha Jassat, and Zoe Strachan. Participants of these workshops contributed to an anthology of poetry, fiction, visual art and non-fiction, alongside survivors from across Scotland. This anthology aims to create a multi-faceted portrait of survivors in Scotland today.

Our Collaborators
Uncovered Voices was planned in collaboration with artist and writer AK Thaysen. You can see her creative work here. This project was a partnership with Glasgow Women's Aid and the Mitchell Library, who hosted the workshops.
The Uncovered Voices anthology was launched as part of Book Week Scotland 2018 and the second edition, Voices will be launched in Book Week Scotland 2022. Participants of the Uncovered Voices workshops also read their work to the public as part of Book Week Scotland 2017.
Glasgow Women's Aid generously sent along a representative to our workshops. Having the skills, training and experience of a Women's Aid worker was vital to creating a safe space for all our participants.
Thank You!
This project was funded by Forest Arts,
the Scotmid Co-operative, the Scottish Book Trust,
