The Tape Letters project shines a light on the use of audio cassette as a mode of long-distance communication by the Pakistani diaspora in Scotland between 1960–1980. Greater Govanhill is delighted to be showcasing stories from the Glasgow community in our Community Canvas space in Tramway opening this October.

How a bunch of old cassettes are a passage into the languages and histories of Pakistani migration. The Tape Letters project will soon be showcased in an exhibition in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee featuring stories of local residents.

In Govanhill and the surrounding area, hundreds of people are currently observing Ramadan, one of the holiest months of the year for Muslims. We delve into what Ramadan is all about, where you can go to break fast in Glasgow and how you can support your friends and colleagues during this month.
