8 March International Women's Day

This International Women's day draw inspiration from banners used in various movements, especially women's movements  such as the suffragette movement, to  provoke, empower and express ideas and and hopes for women in the 21st century. Our concerns are wide ranging and all worthy of expression. Banners often use the power of language but can also use simple graphic images to generate ideas and mottos. 

 Women have been such an important and integral part of the ideas and social agenda of Arc over its 40 years of existence by way of its posters, art, paintings ,sculptures, ceramics, music and  community activities- lets encapsulate some of that feeling  into banners which could be used at various activities in the future. Banners for all sorts of things were traditionally made from fabric so they could be reused and were often displayed around meeting rooms.

Dijanne will help you create your own banner and  will supply  most of the materials needed including needles and thread ( we will work by hand) but do bring your own materials and equipment if you have it. Bring your own lunch/food to share.

Cost $10.00

Brewed Coffee and tea will be available
