A hand-drawn poster titled “Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp 1981–2000: A Spiritual Journey” presents a spiral timeline of the peace camp’s history. The timeline includes illustrated scenes of women marching, cutting fences, gathering at protests, and commemorative events, alongside text boxes describing key moments in the campaign against nuclear weapons.

The poster uses colourful drawings, circular date markers from 1981 to 2000, and handwritten notes to show major milestones, ending with the closure of the camp in 2000.
