Day of the Dead Shrine

A Day of the Dead shrine is now in place at the centre. It is there to mark the upcoming Mexican Day of the Dead on November 2nd. It is traditional that people put up photographs of dead loved ones and also offer gifts to the dead on the shrine. If you have any pictures or gifts please bring them along before or on our Day of the Dead celebrations this Sunday.

This Sunday: Day of the Dead

This Sunday to celebrate the Mexican day of the dead, from 4pm we present a screening of 'A Massacre foretold' introduced by its make Nick Higgins.

For more information contact Mark.

Haiti Night postponed

With the forces conspiring against the organisers and the very short public notice, the Haiti night did not happen in full last night. There was still quite an interest in the event so we will postpone it to Saturday 21st November 7pm.

Last night we were treated to a fantastic talk by Adey who gave us an insight into the history of Haiti. It was a great taster of the full Haiti night.

This Saturday: Haiti Night

This Saturday (24th) The Glasgow Social Centre hosts a Haitian awareness night as part of Black History Month. An event to highlight the precarious state of Haiti’s society and environment.

The night begins at 7.30pm with 2 guest speakers from Glasgow and London giving talks on the devastating effects of recent natural disasters on the people of Haiti - one of the poorest countries in the northern hemisphere - as well as an overall education on the history and culture of the country.


That will be followed by the screening of relevant Haitian films including 'Voodoo Secrets' and exploration of the cult practice of Voodoo.


Live Music will carry on for the night with a special DJ set afterwards containing mostly Haitian music.

Entry by a donation to the centre.

Thanks

Day of the dead Shrine

This Thursday the 22nd of October at 7pm at the Social Centre we will be
making a Day of the Dead Shrine. We would love it if other people could
contribute to the Shrine by bringing momentos or photos to the shrine to
celebrate the lives of their dead friends or relatives and of dead
revolutionaries in the run up to the Day of the Dead. Already people want
to add the victims of injustice in Gaza and Haiti to the shrine.
