I’ve written a new text called 'Artist as Active Citizen' - reflecting my 2016 #GlasgowEffect project - to kick off A-N’s year-long research project #ArtistsMakeChange ✊ Thanks to Rachel Dobbs from LOW PROFILE and Glen Stoker from AirSpace Gallery for inviting Dave Beech and me to take part! 👏 ellieharrison.com/activecitizen ...

Thanks for helping us set the scene Ellie - looking forward to lots more discussion and sharing over the next yr too!!!

Thanks to RBGE Creative Programmes for hosting one of my four 'Early Warning Signs' at Inverleith House this year. I'm looking forward to visiting once the gardens reopen 🌳🌻🌞 #EarthDay earlywarningsigns.ellieharrison.com/rbge ... See MoreSee Less

"Ultimately, The Glasgow Effect was successful in fostering debate. Harrison’s commitment to reflecting on and sharing her experiences is impressive.
