Greenham Exhibition (Hebden Bridge)
2019-08-22 | Hebden Bridge Town Hall, St George's Street, Hebden Bridge, HX7 7BY
Between August and December 2019, Greenham Women Everywhere will be taking a pop-up exhibition on tour around the UK.
The exhibition will showcase some original photographs created by our team, and also archival material, both visual and written, which we have collated during the project. We’ll be playing you soundscapes created by artists we have worked with which give a cross-section of the oral testimonies we have taken, as well as using some of the wonderful Greenham music.
There will be a video installation which explores what political concerns and campaigns the Greenham Women are taking on today, and there will even be a chance to meet some of the Greenham Women themselves – many will be hosting the exhibitions with us.
All set in a Greenham-inspired tent, this exhibition really allows you to get an intimate look at the sights and sounds of the camp, gives voice to these radical women and asks you what change you want to see in the world.
Do keep an eye on the exhibition schedule for our panel talks – we’ll be running several. These are wonderful opportunities to hear from a range of Greenham Women and ask your own questions about life on camp, as well as talk directly to the project managers about the project itself.
Our team has been led in the exhibition design by Rachael Miles, an artist and Senior Lecturer at The University of The West of England.
