Processions: Women across Britain raise banners for suffrage

100 years after the Suffragettes won the right to vote, women will gather in the streets of Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh and London on Sunday 10 June to participate in a public procession in celebration of women’s rights.

The event, commissioned by 14-18 Now and produced by Artichoke, the largest producer of public art projects in the UK, is expecting thousands of women, girls and non-binary participants, with over 100 organisations taking part. Each group has worked in collaboration with female artists to create their own individual and unique banners expressing what it means to be a woman today, to honour the banners and placards women created in aid of female suffrage.

Here is a small selection from the many that will be proudly displayed across the four simultaneous events.
