PROCESSIONS is a mass participation artwork taking place simultaneously across the four UK capitals - Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh and London on Sunday 10 June 2018.
On 10 June, women (including those who identify as women and non-binary) and girls in Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh and London will walk together in this celebratory living artwork.
Participants will each be given a wrap to wear in either green, white or violet - the suffragette colours. They will be choreographed to walk in stripes in a flowing river of colour through the city streets, creating a living portrait of women and girls in the 21st century.
As part of the project, 100 organisations across the UK - including Historic England, Girlguiding, The Muslim Women’s Network, The Scottish Refugee Council and Women in Prison – have been commissioned to create handmade banners in collaboration with female artists, which participants will carry on the processions.
How to get involved
Registration to take part in this free event is open now at the Processions website.
