Standing In This Place: Bronze Sculpture

We are at Life-Size!

Thanks to all the wonderful support we can now begin casting the sculpture, but there’s still work to do. We are currently raising funds for the installation costs.

Read what our supporters have to say -

  • Nottingham Civic Society is delighted to support the project to erect a statue in Nottingham, celebrating and commemorating the contribution that working women have made to the city and to the country.

  • I am so inspired by your work Rachel. You are so grounded in your own and the communities you work with and you fertilise your work with the life experiences of working class people. So powerful.

  • To remember all women who have worked for the future in so many ways.

  • Important to remember women workers and the solidarity they have shown to each other through history.

  • This is such an inspiring piece of work. I love the way it has been devised and created. I hope we get to see it on the Broad Marsh site in the near future.

  • So important to remember the contributions of both these groups of women. Good luck Rachel and all the project team.
