Common Ground: Greenham Exhibition and events

February 12 - February 18

Head along to NOTTINGHAM BROADWAY CINEMA from the 12th to 18th February to explore our Common Ground: Greenham Exhibition and join a week of exciting events!

Common Ground is a series of events bringing the legacy of Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp to local communities across the UK. It is part of a project created by Scary Little Girls in collaboration with Greenham Women Everywhere CIC to map the impact of the Peace Camp on the women who inhabited it and the communities they returned to.

About Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp

Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp was an enduring and iconic protest spanning 19 years from 1981 – 2000. Whilst the occupation of the common began with the aim of forcing out the US nuclear warheads from Berkshire, the protest became a focal point of feminist history and has left a legacy of women’s liberation around the world.

Broadway will be hosting an exhibition where you can find out all about this powerful movement that began 40 years ago and continues to influence today.

Hang out in a bender tent listening to a specially created soundscape of sounds and stories from the peace camp and interviews with Greenham Women. Chat to public herstorians about your memories of Greenham and hear theirs. Look around the gallery at portrait photos of the Greenham Women today as well as new work by contemporary artists inspired by the Greenham Women Everywhere archive and current protest movements.

We’re finalising details for more events and experiences that draw on the spirit of Greenham including craftivism workshops, book talks, film screenings, poetry, music and performance – keep an eye out on our events page!
