The artist Helen de Main is to stage her show ‘You Know, Things Like That’ at the Platform arts centre in Easterhouse.
Over the past year, the Glasgow based artist has been meeting with a group of local women.
They are all members of a Platform based knitting group, who meet weekly to work on collective and individual knitting projects.
Inspired by the Consciousness Raising groups that emerged from the Women’s Movement in the1960s, Helen has instigated a series of open discussions with the group.
Through looking at these women’s lives, "marked by commonalities and difference, remarkable events and mundane ones" the new exhibition celebrates the "strength, resilience and beauty that exists within everyday experience."
The opening event is free to attend and on November 26.
The exhibition is to run until February 11, 2018.

Saxophonist Tommy Smith plays the first in a new serious of concerts at Craiglockhart Church in Edinburgh on Saturday, November 11 at 7:30pm.
Smith, who will be playing solo saxophone, grew up two miles from Craiglockhart, in Wester Hailes, and the concert will be the closest he has played to his childhood home since he left for Berklee School of Music as a teenager in the 1980s.
The concert follows Smith’s first-ever solo performance at Rochester Jazz Festival in New York in June and a second solo concert at Islay Jazz Festival in September.
It launches Jazz in the Church, a series that will feature future concerts by the New Focus Duo (saxophonist Konrad Wiszniewski and pianist Euan Stevenson) and Guitar Journey (guitar duo Jonny Phillips and Giorgio Serci).

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
