“A reclamation of a city’s darkest spaces, for all those whose voice has ever been silenced.”
TOURING PACK
Enter a powerful constellation of fireflies, whispers, murmurs and sighs; a magnificent roar for a fairer, safer and more equal world.
Produced and created by In Between Time, We Are Warriors is a sound and light installation made up of the voices of 130 Bristolian women and girls roaring, whispering and clamouring for all those whose voices have been silenced.
Originally commissioned by Bristol Women’s Voice in 2018 to mark the centenary of the first women being given the right to vote in the UK, We Are Warriors was developed through a series of workshops with Breathing Fire.
Groups that took part in the workshops include:
Bristol Drugs Project
Bristol and Avon Chinese Women’s Group
Eastwood Park Women’s Prison
Gloucester Road Women’s Institute
Integrate UK
Montpelier High School
Redmaid’s Junior School
Wellspring Healthy Living Centre
Hear from previous audiences:
“I loved adding myself into the exhibition with my own light.”
“I liked the way that I could move through the space, as if the sound moved with me.”
“Alive and quiet. Primal and still. Tender and wild. Raw and expansive.”
“It was powerful and moving. I felt like I was part of a magnificent group of women, from the past and the future.”
