Breaking Barriers: Looking at Women's Suffrage in Essex
11 Dec 2009 to 13 March 2010

Breaking Barriers is a touring exhibition, created by the Parliamentary Outreach Service in partnership with Essex museums and libraries.  The exhibition explores the lives of local suffragists and suffragettes and, through work with local community groups, how their stories are relevant to modern audiences: how groups in the past got their voices heard and how we can engage with Parliament today.  Award winning artist, Rachel Gadsden, worked with groups from Rethink, a national charity for people with severe mental illness, to create an original artwork for the exhibition. 
Parliamentary Outreach will be delivering a talk on the project on 21 Jan 2010 at the museum.
Rachel Gadsden will be delivering an art workshop at the museum on 18 Feb 2010.
