[Music]
the husband times where we could see the
police literally trying to find this
place
[Music]
always just one though where did all
these people come from like whether they
go before Glasgow Scotland a loud loud
city surrounded by wilderness a place
where creativity and DIY culture are
continually pushed after a failed bid
for Scottish independence an uncertain
future within brexit Britain the battle
cries of the cities politicize youth are
being left increasingly unanswered amid
protests rising unemployment and strict
nightlife laws the rallied cultural
hunger youth have found themselves all
dressed up with nowhere to go after
hours until now we are reacting against
normal life but are you having these
parties seeing the you to normal
society and taking the control-enter our
hands idea crosses the border into
Scotland to meet the young people
discontent with the current political
landscape reclaiming the in century past
adversity to rip it up and start again
I'm part of a collective called forage
we run parties in abandoned spaces it's
because I study architecture so I've
always just had an interest in the reuse
enough space and just what else can be
done of it like wanna let them Berlin
from a placement here like I was just
out there like a really sparked idea so
that location there absolutely loved
that location right at the river like in
the morning when the Sun was coming up
you can just see it above the river
clyde like just the perfect view about
the only downside of that for the winter
or when it gets cold is that we didn't
have any windows or farther than too
much away the location it's like within
offices so that we don't have any issues
with any neighbors my we are partying
there throughout the weekend and then
Monday to Friday I guess like people and
working yeah the amount of money that we
spend on air freshener is ridiculous hey
that's ridiculous just trying to keep
the place fresh we have a team out and
about like so if you are one of the
locations where we tend to party are
like you see someone passing out a
business card I won't be able to show
you the back just because I'll develop
too much of the nation these parties are
a breeding ground for ideas of
interaction the central part of Glasgow
is rich cultural legacy
most of new people come in to say
they're bringing their emphases over
here
[Music]
what's more Lobos underground raves
don't just beat the high percentage of
youths moving into Glasgow to study if
the locals who kick things off
so many stories of people from here used
to like going to school and like hide
their skateboards like underneath the
assembly hall stage and not not tell
anyone they skated then like snuck back
out and went to Queens Park wrecks
afterwards and like just like wouldn't
tell anyone they're definitely dead
because they were scared that someone
would laugh at them or call them a name
or something for it but now all wearing
vans kind of like has come through so
cool no my dad's opposed administering
my mom's a school teacher so I was told
what to do all the time when I was
growing up I know like for me my friends
a lot of people you start drinking you
start going out at the age of 1213 for
me like iPhone music at that time but
skateboarding also offers that kind of
way out of like it gives you somewhere
to go it gives you something to do it
gives you a friendship after what's
happened with the Conservatives and
brexit and after the Scottish
independence fought like I feel like
people have got a bit more politically
active here the first-past-the-post
system doesn't really work for us we
don't really get represented properly
like by the UK government so I feel like
people here doing striving more and more
for grassroots politics for community
groups in like things that are level on
the streets like to try and help each
other everything that dunno it was
probably reactionary to my upbringing
kind of going as far away from it as I
can we are reacting against like normal
life by having these parties and as
saying like you to normal society
and kind of like taking under control
and to our hands incognito relies on the
plethora of empty spaces that dominate
the Glaswegian skyline in the 1960s and
70s thousands of families were cleared
from slums to new high-rise social
housing developments on the outskirts of
the city meant to offer a newer more
utopian form of living the cramped
spaces were ultimately torn down and as
the city is continuously destroyed then
rebuilt
it's a relocated who are the most
affected
so we're going to be looking for it to
drop some lights so that we can make the
place look at me so drive not Glasgow in
certain regions that does feel very
bleak like you can really tell like
where the money's getting allocated to
like my parents used to own a little
Alfa Caribbean shop on Duke Street and
once they put those towers down they
lost a lot of that customers through
there like a lot of their business
through that foresight old regardless of
what they like what people say about it
everybody that kind of grew up there
they enjoyed like it was like an
experience however it's one of one of
those like developments where they
didn't really integrate people properly
that's the issues with most high-rise
buildings are like most tower blocks are
on glass wall well mainly result of that
is that like everything kind of houses
life cycle so you don't want to push it
too far so I think that's why regardless
of the where do in regards to the
Incognito's and changing locations and
like trying to not burn out how
intelligent outspoken and politically
active it's the city's youth that are
defining their generation in their own
way there's no more freedom to be who
you are here it's an open minded
forward-thinking more on scale I think
especially like young people every style
tribe is present at the party the most
expressive of all being students from
Glasgow School of Art her College
renowned for its progressive ethos and a
former place of study for artists such
as Charles Rennie Mackintosh and
designers Jonathan Saunders and Louise
gray in 2014 after raging fire almost
destroyed GSA a bold new generation rose
from the ashes we ran with the Glasgow
School of Art and this is the fashion
and textile department and I'm currently
in my third year just now I'm penning
the garment for my fashion show
collection it's like massive big
circular pieces and then it'll become
like okay like and I'll be loads of
layers it can be gender-neutral over but
I'd like to show it on man I think the
energy here is the case with like most
fashion courses probably it like and
what I mean it can become quite
stressful yeah I was crying the other
day but like I said hey I'm fine
I suppose it being free does encourage
you to come here I mean it's still like
hard to get into but it moved to be
serious I think it did have a reputation
of maybe perhaps being a rough area but
I feel like creativity is always left in
Glasgow
I grew up in peasley which is 10 just a
tape of Glasgow it's kind of chilly but
when I was growing up it was a bit rough
that connector was minded and grown up
like my dad doesn't present like my
whole life but like a Nanoha president I
saw him kind of intermittently so at
least by like a single mother between
like her and my gran and my gran and
like one of my aunts I kind of just
split the vote between all three of them
and take inspirations on fashion
designers people like Astrid Anderson
taken such a strong masculine aesthetic
such a sportswear and then combining it
more sort of like session like famine
and materials and I think that really
changes the way people look at
masculinity nothing I was really
important I tend to go to the women's
section when I commend all size jewelry
and then working we were into the men's
I find like worthless courses but more
variation in terms of the shape than the
prints and things like that five years
there in the lane and I look at myself
now and I'm like I don't know that I
just love looking back and going but
that was a thing of the past but at
least I tried it anyway a half Lotus I
put together and I probably like less
than thirty quid don't think it I think
my shoes were free because the guy just
gave them to me at far
[Applause]
okay 308 per month including Belle's
such as really cheap run - including you
tonight which is like big after-party
that happens every few weeks seems to be
like a whisper that everyone is know but
no one knows how you know if I would go
through this sort of more like like gay
bars and Glasgow wearing something that
was a bit more out there there would
always be people that have talked to me
and feel the need to kind of chip in on
like just give their two cents and while
wearing and say something I feel like
the low care of exist in harmony in the
future and I think incognito even if the
same people aren't running it there's
always a need for it so I don't know in
the future it could be people like oz
there take her over as do not run by one
person it's like a collective
[Music]
as the GSA student showed us creativity
can only exist through collaboration we
joined mobo as he meets Sarah a fellow
promoter who shares the same vision of
inclusivity at her own Club 9 there's a
soccer whole street this is like
glaspell's
strip if you hover that's like all the
commercial clubs like all the places you
don't see right so now we're gonna show
you the dance off the underground scene
I'm heading free to go I mean Sarah
don't lay the river near the lower stem
from her night is called a one-for-one
personnel probably less than a year ago
this city year ago an after-party yeah
remember where dr. Cohen I think
probably after the art school somewhere
I was happy that I hired for my night
yes and then you asked me to come think
of you yes sounds like I'll give you a
flyer for my night if you carry a ticket
for your night essentially a platform
the whole idea behind it is to create
spaces where people from different
backgrounds can feel comfortable
obviously I'm a woman so obviously I
wear other women's feel comfortable
wherever whenever someone comes up and
says right there's too many guys in the
scene or there's not enough women or
there's no enough LGBTQ or POC there's
not enough like of the people who
essentially started the scene present
nowadays how can you go about making it
more diverse and making it more
welcoming to those people like anything
about Sinuhe
like people react them so it's a
different wave it says a lot about like
how far behind we really are how far we
still after kinda go what I really takes
I like one person to just be like right
whether enough
[Music]
when people are coming through
especially people come from ethnic
minorities they come through and they're
like wow this is a first kind of beans
and afters we're seeing so many other
people that come from different culture
when all parties have driven back the
youth culture by what kind of brings us
together I don't know whether you can
measure it but that's all we definitely
aim for in Glasgow inclusivity
self-expression and grassroots politics
are away for young Scottish misfits to
define their own generation a mark a new
chapter in the city's rebellious
cultural history Adam a party like up
there like all it needs a little over
March Eve look oh that's just empty
undisturbed by the authorities mobray is
free to start planning the next party
successfully incognito
[Music]
since I was a little girl
to dream
[Music]
