A food market will celebrate culture through meals at a popular local event.
The Govanhill Food Stories Community Market hopes to bring residents together from the culturally diverse neighbourhood.
With a wide selection examples of dishes, stories and recipes from local people, the event will run on August 13, as part of the Govanhill International Festival.
The two-weeks-long celebration, which is returning with a bolder and brighter programme than ever before, is set to entertain Glaswegians between August 2 and 14.

Free of charge, the Govanhill Food Stories Community Market is only one part of the colourful programme but invited everyone to try meals from different cultures while learning about traditions, customs and celebrations.
The food will be prepared by local organisations and businesses.
For example, families will be able to attend an Eritrean coffee ceremony as part of ‘Our Rights, Our Communities’ project, delivered by Unity Sisters in partnership with the Govanhill Baths Community Trust and MILK Cafe.

Then, explore how migration and colonialism influenced our food cultures in a fun session with Tunvii Khurana and Diana Jiménez from Nourish Scotland, part of the same project.
The event will take place at the Batson Street Laboratoty on Batson Street, next to Govanhill Picture House.
It will be followed by the outdoor film screening of The Gleaners and I, a documentary curated by GAMIS as part of the festival.
