Episode Details

Glasgow Women’s Library just claimed the inaugural Pineapple Trophy — a cheeky, community-powered award celebrating bold activism and cultural change — for its tireless work championing feminism and solidarity. Born from the legacy of the historic Govanhill Baths occupation, the trophy, designed by artist Nathan Coley, honors groups that turn collective action into real-world impact. Co-director Sue John called it a “beautiful and witty” symbol of civic strength, while Fatima Uygun praised the library as the perfect recipient — a longtime advocate for women’s rights and grassroots empowerment. The award, presented annually at the Govanhill International Festival, marks 25 years since the baths’ occupation ended and shines a spotlight on the power of people-driven change.
