Spent International Women’s Day at the Whitworth Art Gallery, with what seemed like hundreds of other women & folk, visiting the thought provoking new exhibition. So much has changed, yet so little has changed.
An image of a large white wall with red letters in the centre reading “women in revolt. Art and activism in the UK 1970-1990” surround the text are black and white images of protest and activism badges. An image of a protest poster in a black frame. The poster has the word “Equal Pay Now” and then other manifesto slogans beneath. The text is black on a beige and red images background. An ornate embroidered and appliqué banner. The back ground is grey cloth. With appliqué text at the top and bottom reading “Thatchers Thugs. Pretreated 1984” An image of a wall with five images on. There are three along the top and two beneath. The top ones are protest posters and the bottom ones are black and white images, showing the posters on matches.

Today, a #HeritageFund colleague and I had the opportunity to meet with the senior team @victoriagallery.bsky.social to hear about ambitions & future plans for their communities & collections. We were also treated to a tour of their impressive spaces, more to reopen later this year.
An image of a corridor within a Victorian Waterhouse designed building. The walls are fully tiled, brown tiles to the mid point and then cream upwards. There are tiled archways in the same brown and cream tile. Images can be seen hung in the corridor. At the end of the corridor a glimpse of red can be seen on the galleries beyond. This is a water colour image of the Temple at Philae in Egypt. It is by Edward Lear. It is mounted on a white mount with a pale gold frame. The temple takes centre stage in the image with water to the front and desert elsewhere. There is some sparse greenery, in the form of a few palm trees and bushes. This is a Halima Cassel work. It is a dish with geometric designs carved into the clay and is mounted on a white display plinth with a glass surround. This shows the Tate Hall. It’s a wooden vaulted ceiling with cream insets between the ceiling beams. The walls are dark blue and alcoves can be seen on either side
