Engagement Activities per year
Details
Birch coined the term ‘living monument’ (Birch 2013, 2012, 2010, 2009) and applied it to March of Women (2015) to describe the embodied participation of Glasgow Women’s Library learners and staff, professional actors, creative team and crew and audience in a large-scale public performance event based on A Pageant of Great Women. The event was designed to draw attention to the newly relocated Glasgow Women’s Library and to engage with their women's suffrage archive to critically evaluate and evidence the hidden biographies of selected Scottish women suffrage activists.
