Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art Centre

The banner brought together women from across MIMA’s programmes. This included members of Creative Age, a group living with dementia and their care-givers and family, Cultural Conversations, which uses the MIMA collection to make new friends and practice speaking and listening skills to learn English, and Mini MIMA, a group for early years with their adult/s. Collectively, the group represents women of all ages, faith and colour. The group shared stories of women in members’ own worlds and celebrated these amazing conversations using craft, gentle activism and the handmade.

For the group, the project is about hope, the future and moving forward. It’s a call to action.
