Women at Work

The archive has been presented to youth groups and artists alike. A selection of their works have been used as resources with which guest artist Mairead McVeigh has constructed digital 3D models for display as a means of elevation for these key women in history. The omnipresence and immortalised digital representations of their artwork on multiple platforms intends to educate, and to spark interest in young people and adults alike and to encourage visits to these key sites and objects as related to the history/herstory of Women’s Rights.
This was a time when women changed society through protest and hard work to make it more equal, this project draws strength from them to show us that today that we too can challenge injustices, and tackle today’s big problems like catastrophic climate change and prejudice, just like these powerful women and men who supported them 100 years ago. We have run workshops engaging with young people and adults in schools, colleges and community group, so people could make their own artwork in response to these women and their work.
Project Link CIC would like to all our participants as well as the artists Jaime Jackson and Mairead McVeigh. This project is dedicated to all people who stand up for change, to make our world a better place to live.
