Description
Banner, dark purple polyester with applied lettering, 2016
This banner reads "This is for Holloway!", applied to the banner in colourful print fabric. The banner was created by Sisters Uncut, and references Holloway Prison, where many arrested suffragettes were held. Holloway was also the site of force-feeding of suffragettes on hunger strike. The prison closed in 2016, after which Sisters Uncut actively campaigned to reclaim the building as a safe community space for women.
