Threads of Liberation: Women's Liberation in East London past, present, and future
Celebrate Women's History Month by exploring women's liberation in East London
Together, attendees will be exploring Women’s Liberation in East London, past, present, and future. Queen Mary Archives and Tower Hamlets Archives will showcase materials from their collections, offering insight into the women they document and the lasting impact these women have had on the fight for justice.
Following presentations from the archive teams, attendees will be invited to reflect on what liberation means to them by creating their own piece of art in a Nakshi kantha (traditional Bengali embroidery) workshop led by OITIJ-JO Collective, an organisation dedicated to platforming British/Bangla women.
This event will be a great opportunity to meet others passionate about gender equity, while learning about the incredible work past and present that is taking place to advance women’s justice and gender equity in East London.
The event is free and open to people of all genders.
