<div class="page"><div class="section"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p>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.</p><p>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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> </p></div></div></div></div>
