Luminate Festival: Suffragettes: Our Mothers, Sisters, Aunts

Luminate takes place across Scotland throughout October, and spotlights arts activities by and for older people, as well as events for audiences across the generations. The festival showcases projects and events run by communities and arts organisations nationwide, and we are delighted to be included again this year.

We will share our favourites amongst some of the famous and funny Suffragette plays in our collection, followed by a short handling session of Suffragette artefacts and memorabilia while we discuss the experience of our mothers, daughters, aunts, cousins and friends. They may have been Suffragettes themselves or be activists now, Come along and join the conversation about these Firebrand Women and their legacy! #MarchOfWomen
