This exhibition is free for everyone!

Glasgow’s food landscape is often read through its high streets: the chains, the shopfronts everyone passes but rarely notices. ‘Off the High Street’  looks past this surface to the food geography that sits just beyond it. This exhibition brings together two Thai, foodie artists, Chanicha ‘Millie’ Srithamma and Wattana Songpetchmongkol, exploring Glasgow through illustration. Both come from architectural backgrounds, and that training shapes how they look at the city: where a shop sits, why it survives off the main routes, and what that tells us about who the city is built to serve. Food becomes a way of reading the city’s hidden cultural landscape, not just its flavors.

Each piece documents a real place found through walking the city rather than searching for it. With each restaurant visited, each dish served, each story told, the illustration yields not merely the taste of Glaswegian culinary scene; rather, it paints the ‘wee’ memory worth sharing.

The exhibition invites viewers to reconsider their own city: what they walk past daily, and what they might find if they stepped just one street over.
