| Description | 'The Feminist Everywhere: 40 years of the Feminist Archive South'
In 2018 Graphic Students at the University of the West of England visited the Feminist Archive South. Each group choose a building in Bristol which had links with the women's liberation movement from c.1969 to 2000, and produced art in reaction to the stories that they discovered. This was carried out during six weeks in October-December 2018. This was showcased at an event on 29 November 2018, and then at the UWE Graphics Final Show in June 2019. These materials were compiled by Conway and Young, UWE Graphic Design Academics.
