Making Her Mark: Launch Event

Where are the unsung heroines of Renfrewshire and how are they celebrated or remembered? How are women’s lives reflected in Renfrewshire’s towns and villages? Come along, enjoy some tea and cake and find out more about this exciting new project.

Making Her Mark: Launch Event, 12.30pm to 2.30pm, Tuesday 10th December, POP space, The Piazza Shopping Centre, Paisley

We’re excited to be working with Johnstone-based Kairos women’s project and Renfrewshire-based RAMH (Recovery Across Mental Health) in a creative project celebrating women in Renfrewshire. We’ll be working with local women to look at how women are represented and remembered in the area. The project will draw on the memories, stories and creative skills of local women and will run until September 2020, when an exhibition and celebration event is planned. The project will also link with women in Furth in Germany, which is twin-towned with Paisley.

At this launch event there will be talks about local women, the chance to see some fascinating artefacts from women’s history from the GWL archive, badge-making fun for all the family, a chance to meet people and find out more and (did we mention this already?) tea and cake!

This project is supported with funding from Renfrewshire Council’s Culture, Heritage and Events Fund.
