Objects relating to activism and protest – on display until 27 April 2025
From the Suffragettes to the Guerrilla Girls, we have a number of objects that reflect how art has been used as a form of activism.
“What a wonderful way to mark the centenary of women’s suffrage. If my grandmother and great-grandmother were able to come back and look at the world today, I think they would be heartened by much of the progress in women’s rights. […]However, they would also be spurring us on, highlighting how much we still have to do – given ongoing levels of gender inequality in almost all spheres.”
