During the Battle of Calder Street on 7 August 2001, someone threw a pineapple at the police. Nobody is quite sure who. The pineapple passed into the folklore of the occupation. Now, twenty five years later, Turner Prize-shortlisted artist Nathan Coley has reimagined it as a hand-crafted sterling silver trophy: an annual civic award presented to a community organisation whose work contributes to activism, solidarity and civic transformation in Glasgow and beyond. Each recipient receives their own bronze medal, cast in the form of a ring of tinned pineapple.

“Twenty-five years after a pineapple flew across Calder Street, the object has returned transformed: no longer simply a symbol of protest, but a civic artwork honouring those who continue to defend, imagine, and reshape public life together.”

Followed by a conversation between Nathan Coley and Simone Stewart, Arts & Heritage Manager at Govanhill Baths Community Trust. After the Pineapple Trophy, Sunny Govan brings hip hop t the Steamie. Local acts, live music, a tradition of resistance.
