Client: Midlands Region Trade Union Congress Event: The Annual Women’s Chainmakers’ Festival
Every year in July residents of Cradley Heath in the West Midlands take a step back in time, in honour of the women who fought to secure better rights for female workers, as part of the Women Chainmakers’ Festival.
The annual event, which takes place on Cradley Heath High Street, recognises the efforts of trade unionist and women’s rights campaigner, Mary Macarthur, and women across the county, who successfully campaigned to abolish exploitative wages within their industry by staging a ten-week strike in 1910.
The family street festival will involves market stalls, debates, street theatre, music and speeches from influential figures.
Brief: To document the day.
The main brief was to photograph all the speakers, and main participants, stalls. The re-enactment and the finale march
