Joey Simons is a writer and artist from Glasgow, currently artist-in-residence for the GSS Learning and Engagement programme.

My practice uses archival research, site writing, documentary poetry, video, montage and community workshops to explore the politics of collective memory and loss in Glasgow, with a particular lens on struggles around housing and the built environment. I am co-founder of the Glasgow Housing Struggle Archive and a board member for Living Rent and the Red Sunday School, and also work as lead reader for Open Book's Prison Programme.

Other ongoing work includes commissions for the CCA Annex, the Edwin Morgan Trust's Second Life Award and the Travelling Gallery.

Previous work includes Mining Seams and Drawing Wells: a living archive for Easterhouse (2022), the publications Scheming (2021) and Let Us Act For Ourselves: selected works of Freddy Anderson (2020) at Platform; The Fearful Part Of It Was The Absence for Collective's Satellites programme (2022); Glasgow Housing Struggle Timeline (2021) and Hitherto Unknown: the Tille Olsen progect (2019) at Glasgow Women's Library. Writing published by Gutter magazine, Speculative Books, MAP, and The Common Breath.
