An exhibition at the Pop Up art space on Centenary Square celebrates peace banners and related objects created by women.
Visible Voices – The Art Of Women’s Protest is a joint collaboration between the Peace Museum and the Pop Up art space run by Bradford arts organisation Fabric.
The exhibition, running until January 28, brings together an extensive collection of peace banners from the women’s protest movement spanning 100 years, from places such as Greenham Common and Menwith Hill and from Bradford’s Women’s Protest for Peace.
One of the banners was used in the protest against last year’s EDL march and the oldest banner on display dates to 1910.
The exhibition charts the passion, dedication and power that women have bought to the peace movement as a whole, and provides a rare opportunity to see the banners which are not usually on public display.
The exhibition also features a series of embroidered textile pictures from and a film about Greenham Common and information about the banners on display.
