Public commission as part of:
You Belong Here
Southbank Centre
London, UK
Using intricate drawings suspended in mobile form, Plender will create a temporary memorial to Sylvia Pankhurst, whose name is well-documented in social and political history for her involvement with the campaign to win votes for women in Britain. Less celebrated, however, are Pankhurst's later campaigns against fascism and imperialism, and the influence of her socialist feminist ideas on the formation of a welfare state in Britain.
