Common Ground – celebrating Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp

Sunday July 30th, 2023 @ 12:00 am - 8:00 pm

We are excited to bring this touring event series, Common Ground, to the Sumac Centre.

Common Ground is a series of events celebrating Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp.
.
The tour is part of a Heritage Lottery Funded project exploring the effect of the Peace Camp on the communities that Greenham Women returned to.
.
Activities may include a pop-up exhibition, craftivism workshops, memory sharing, book talk, film screenings and more.
.
11am – 2pm
– Veggies brunch
– Greenham Pop-up exhibits and memory sharing
– Drop-in craft activities.
.

From 2pm we will have time to host some talks.

.

“From our end, we can give a talk about Greenham and possibly introduce the book ‘Out of the Darkness’ which is a collection of the testimonies we’ve collected through the project.”

.

“It would be amazing if anyone from Nottingham CND would be up for giving a talk on the work that you do, or if anyone wants to give a talk about a specific topic that would also be very welcome. It would be great to have talks which mix looking backwards at the history of peace movements as well as looking at where we are now.”

I imagine the Sumac would have a really engaged community for this event and would be a great place to collect testimonies from people who went to the Peace Camp!

We’d also love to invite activists and campaign groups that are still working on the issues that Greenham Women explored, so really glad to hear about your connections with CND and we’d love to be put in touch with anyone else you think might like to contribute!
