Thanks for the chat. The other half is delighted with his Stephen Duffy vinyl. Hope the rest of the day goes well for you!

Spent International Women’s Day at the Whitworth Art Gallery, with what seemed like hundreds of other women & folk, visiting the thought provoking new exhibition. So much has changed, yet so little has changed.

An image of a large white wall with red letters in the centre reading “women in revolt. Art and activism in the UK 1970-1990” surround the text are black and white images of protest and activism badges.

An image of a protest poster in a black frame. The poster has the word “Equal Pay Now” and then other manifesto slogans beneath. The text is black on a beige and red images background.

An ornate embroidered and appliqué banner. The back ground is grey cloth. With appliqué text at the top and bottom reading “Thatchers Thugs. Pretreated 1984”

An image of a wall with five images on. There are three along the top and two beneath. The top ones are protest posters and the bottom ones are black and white images, showing the posters on matches.
