21 July 2016 18:00 ~ Create an exhibition about women in Hackney – East End Women’s Museum

Until 19:30 @ 1 Reading Lane, E8 1GQ London, United Kingdom

Hackney Museum and the East End Women’s Museum are joining forces to tell the story of women who have led political and social change in Hackney, from suffragettes to squatters, Mary Wollstonecraft to the Hackney Flashers.

2018 will be 100 years since some British women first won the right to vote. To mark the occasion an exhibition exploring how women in Hackney have changed society both with and without the vote will be on display in Hackney Museum.

We are holding an event for anyone who is interested to share their ideas and tell us what they would like to see in the exhibition.

You can also find out about joining the team of volunteers to create the exhibition, helping to uncover hidden stories by exploring the borough’s rich archives.

There are lots of ways to get involved, no prior experience is needed – just enthusiasm!

The community forum will be held at Hackney Museum, 1 Reading Ln, London E8 1GQ on Thursday 21 July 6 – 7.30pm, no booking required. Travel info: http://www.hackney.gov.uk/museum-visiting
