STRIKING WOMEN

'Striking Women' details the involvement of South Asian women in two famous UK workers' strikes – Grunwick photo-processing laboratory in 1976 and the Gate Gourmet dispute in 2005. Based on a joint research programme by the University of Leeds and the University of Oxford, it was displayed in the foyer of The Women's Library and ran from October – March.  We were asked to design the exhibition itself and follow up with a website to ensure the painstakingly pulled together research material was made available for all. It was important that the primary focus was the research material itself, but we supported it with strong visuals and 3d elements such as placards, and retained some of these elements for the website.
