@lancetabraham here, moving on to another project for my #mafashionphotography #igtakeover.
PROCESSIONS was a mass participation artwork produced by @artichoketrust and commissioned by @1418now. It celebrated the centenary of the first women to vote in the UK. Around 10,000 women marched with banners in London, Edinburgh, Belfast and Cardiff on 10 June 2018.

@historicengland commissioned LCF’s Prof Lucy Orta to lead banner-making sessions in LCF’s #makingforchange workshop at Downview women’s prison.

For my ‘Everyday and the Epic’ project, I visited the prison to document the banner-making sessions (the everyday), and the London procession (the epic). Here are the finished prisoners’ banners on their way to the start of the #london procession.

Throwback to the processions in Belfast last month. The reception was one of the best we’ve gotten. #iwd2018 #processions2018 #thenorthisnext #nowforni

A close up of the ‘Make More Noise’ banner created by students from @strodecollege and artist @dorcascasey. The colours are so vibrant and we love that there are Glastonbury Festival wristbands woven into the design along with the names of everyone who helped make the banner.
You can view the banner as part of the ‘Processions: Two Banners, One Voice’ exhibition currently on at the Somerset Rural Life Museum @somerset_museums in Glastonbury until 2nd September. More info at http://swheritage.org.uk/processions-two-banners-one-voice
