Walk - Mary Barbour and other Strong Women of the Clydeside

Celebrating the work of Mary Barbour and the women who made up her army, this guided artwalk employs humour, graffiti, & banners! Learn about campaigners for the 1915 Rent Strikes and other protests � in their own words.

You will hear the stories of important Clydesiders as we walk the streets where they lived and worked. We use the Occupy Movement�s �human megaphone� to quote Govan activists � including Mary Barbour, Helen Crawfurd, Peace Crusaders, Suffragettes, and veterans of the 1971 Upper Clyde Shipbuilders Work-In. Join us as we march with banners, employ (temporary) graffiti to rename streets, and visit important spaces such as the tenement building where Mary Barbour lived during the Rent Strikes.

You will be led by a creative team of artists, activists, and local historians who have been researching these histories as part of the �Strong Women of the Clydeside� team, led by artist t s Beall. This is a creative happening as much as a guided walk.
