About this Event
The Women's Line
Heritage Open Day: The Women’s Line is a snapshot of Macclesfield-resident women’s family trees presenting
their female lines artistically through highly personal mixed media portraits and memories,
opening September 6th at the Silk Museum. The project engaged both artists and those not identifying as artists. Diverse adult
community members attended 52 creative workshops and conversations across 7 months,
building local creative community connections and opportunities. The workshops connected
women with their heritage, inspiring them to connect with their ancestors and even discover
more about themselves and each other and unifying us through both our differing and
common experiences.
