For International Women's Day 2019 and as part of my final work for a B.A. Art Degree I co-ordinated a Bike Ride in and around Hereford commemorating the Canary Girls (munitions workers) of Rotherwas, Hereford. 

​

I encouraged people from all walks of life to get on their bikes and become a moving piece of art.

​

The route followed a similar route to one taken daily on bicycles by thousands of women and some men during WW1 and WW11.

​

My aim was to bring the workers alive in our imaginations and share their stories, hear their voices and mark the unique roles that they played in our herstory.

​

It was a resounding success.
