TALKS AND EXPERIENCES
Online Talks & Virtual Walking Tours -
We have a wide range of online talks and experiences, which can be tailored for your events.
As a small business during the pandemic we developed and adapted some of our walks into online talks and virtual walks.
We still discuss a wide range of topics including, the History of Women in the World of Art, how suffrage in the UK influenced movements around the world, and much more!
Currently our talks and experiences are only available for private bookings.
If you are interested in booking us to speak for an online or in person event, or want to join a virtual tour of London, contact us on [email protected] for more information.
Our talks & experiences:
Throughout history, the idea of artistic genius has been closely linked with privileges and traits associated with masculinity. For a long time, women have been locked out of the conversation. However, the notion of art being gendered is, of course, nonsense – so it’s time for women artists to own their canvas!
This hour-long talk will touch on the obstacles women faced in securing themselves as artists, which artists stood out especially in breaking through barriers, why the idea of ‘Women’s Art’ is and isn’t true – and why we need to change the narrative about what it means to be a ‘female’ painter.
The fight to win the vote for women – as well as for women to be represented in government – is one of the most fascinating stories in women’s history. Meet us (virtually) at Caxton Hall as we march up to Parliament Square, following the footsteps of the women who marched on Parliament on Black Friday. Meet some of the key figures in women’s suffrage and political history; find out the difference between a suffragist and a suffragette, and learn why both movements were essential to winning the vote.
Follow us to Downing Street to hear about some of the pioneering women in politics, and discuss some of the inspiring women who serve in contemporary times.
The area of Bloomsbury has, throughout history, been linked to London’s culture, intellects, artists and writers. Today while exploring the picturesque neighbourhood, with its cosy public squares, you can stumble across numerous blue plaques and statues marking where notable figures once lived, worked and died.
This one hour virtual walking tour will take you around Bloomsbury, sharing the stories, achievements and the struggles of women throughout history.
You can virtually walk in the footsteps of women like Virginia Woolf, Noor Inayat Khan, Lilian Lindsey and many more…!
East London has been linked with the working class since the first settlements in the area. Walking down the Old Roman Road and Bow there are numerous buildings in which working women lived and from which they campaigned. During this virtual walking tour we will explore the areas rich history, following in the footsteps of the working women like Clara Grant; ‘the Bundle Woman of Bow’, visiting the red hands of William Gladstone that remind us of the sacrifices working women made, as well as sharing the stories of Working Class Suffragettes.
