探花直播

Gender Equality: 40 years on! introduces the work and activism of 探花直播 based women in the mid-80s. The exhibition is part of a research project which investigates women鈥檚 contribution to addressing gender equality in 探花直播.

This is also an opportunity to celebrate the acquisition of the Barbara Webster Collection (April 2023) into the Faculty of Arts, Design and Media Archive, at 探花直播. The Barbara Webster Collection is the starting point for the exhibition which focuses on the Women鈥檚 Committee, established by 探花直播鈥檚 Labour Council. In addition, the work on display includes items from the Faculty of Arts, Design and Media Archive and donations made by other women linked to that period.

In November 1984, the Women鈥檚 Committee, chaired by Councillor Trudy Livingstone, established the Women鈥檚 Unit to fulfil the committee鈥檚 work. The artefacts presented in this exhibition demonstrate the collaborative nature of this work, reaching out to women across 探花直播鈥檚 diverse communities. The exhibition includes the creative work of women who challenged stereotypes and celebrated the diverse experiences of 探花直播 women.聽It combines the formal work achieved in the City Council, with women鈥檚 activism, and creative endeavours, which together contributed to fundamental changes for 探花直播.

The research project and exhibition Gender Equality: 40 years on! invites us to reflect on gender equality now, by considering how past voices, campaigns and activism helps us challenge contemporary inequalities, in a city such as 探花直播.
