To celebrate our 40th anniversary we are launching 40 Women and Girls – a landmark project featuring the stories and photographs of 40 women and girls who have been the heartbeat of our community from 1981-2021. They could be 5 or 95, estate matriarchs or teenage peer educators, Tuesday clubbers and now nannas. Trustees, staff, volunteers and members, past and present. Living or past over. Women & Girls who have made a difference, championed the centre and become inspirational role-models through our 40 years.
The exhibition will launch on Tuesday 8 March, International Women’s Day, as we light up our building with the opening of the exhibition, book launch and a series of large-scale projections onto our building supported by BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art.
Public exhibition dates: 9 – 31 March 2022.
Free entry but donations are welcome
Monday – Friday, 9am-5pm (women only) Saturday-Sunday, 10am-2pm (open to all)
The beautiful 40 Women and Girls book is now available to buy for £25 + £4 postage
