Feminist Library celebrates Women’s History Month
Feminist Library celebrates Women’s History Month
In March, the Feminist Library will curate a programme of HLF funded events to celebrate Women’s History Month, in collaboration with the Feminist Library Spanish Book Club, the South London Refugee Association and the South London Gallery.
Spanish Book Club Women’s History Month
The Feminist Library, The Sojourner Truth Community Centre/ Online
The Spanish Book Club will run series of creative workshops and talks on 15th and 19th March responding to the theme of women’s ‘herstory’ from different angles. Participants will get the change to create zines, collage, puppet making, and learn about women in chess and in museums and archives.
No Loose Strands: a month celebrating textile art and community
The Feminist Library, The Sojourner Truth Community Centre
A celebration of the rich tapestry of radical textile art. An exhibition, talks and workshops will explore the ways women have woven together themes of gendered work, political protest and community. The exhibition will include textile art (community made quilts, protest banners, embroidery and more), as well as books and zines from the collection, alongside new work.
We Are A Group Of Excellent Women [No Loose Strands] at Fire Station, Gallery 1, South London Gallery
We Are A Group Of Excellent Women is an exhibition and programme of public events. A large scale patchwork quilt by SLRA’s Womens Group is on display, accompanied by a zine featuring interviews, photographs and poetry. Between April 2020 and July 2021 the group met weekly online to support and care for each other, be creative and organise for change. The exhibition also includes original zines, periodicals and posters from The Feminist Library collection that focus on women’s migration.
