We are very excited @threadsfestswindon to be having an original banner or 2 created by the amazing women of Greenham Common. (This image is of a banner by Derbyshire Women for Peace banner created in the 1980s} We were so lucky to meet @bunny_morethan at a screening of Gentle Angry Women @sofascreenings and chatted to her about her book and asked if any of the Greenham banners still existed. Rebecca and Vanessa from @scarylittlegirls Have been so kind in to letting us display the banners and use the archive photos in our exhibition 'Threads of Empowerment ' '....They formed what became the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp. They stayed there for almost twenty years, in what would become the largest, most effective women-led protest since the Suffragette campaign- and they would radicalise a generation'. Taken from a Out of the Darkness, Greenham Voices 1981-2000 by Kate Kerrow and Rebecca Morgan. We are hoping there will be a talk about the book Out of the Darkness , The Greenham Voices 1981-2000 so watch this space. #threadsofempowerment #greenhamcommon #banners #protest #women-led

Work experience was a completely new concept for me. We don’t have it in Lithuania, but I think it’s such an amazing opportunity for students to experience a real workplace for three days. I’ve had the chance to lead quite a few students at @createstudiosdigital and every time I’m amazed by the creativity young people bring to the table. Gen Z is full of great ideas, awareness of trends and so much energy. We had a great time creating social media content for the Sofa Screenings. Learning how things actually work at such a young age is truly incredible, and I’m very grateful for the opportunity to lead this experience. P.S. If you’re a student, you can watch Wild Swimmers for £2.50 on 18 March at @sofascreenings P. P.S thank you Create team and @jaye.ransom for your support during these 3 days❤️
