Please send your nominations to: decolonisenewnham150@gmail.com

These could be women who lived, worked, studied in Newnham over the last 150 years. We are particularly exploring lesser known histories, by this we mean individuals whose lives may have had less relevance or seeming significance to Britain, America, Europe and possibly more of a global or international significance, or localised importance 'elsewhere'. The terminology currently in use is intentionally left a little vague, we are interested in your thoughts and suggestions around how this project shapes up and who we might find.

Would you like to be more involved in some way? If so, please send an email with "participate" in the subject heading. This could be historical, archival, internet research; it could be working with me to find, select and chose key figures to take forward for the art work; it could be entering into dialogue with the research we find and discussing ideas around decolonising histories; it could be helping with the final art work - possibly filming, ceramics, script writing, imaging....

And if you are not sure, but would like to get in touch, please do!
