Uncertain Futures
+100 Women

The Project is led by Los Angeles artist Suzanne Lacy, University of Southern California and Ruth Edson, Learning Manager at Manchester Art Gallery. It is a multiyear project with many partnerships and collaborators operating in unison on different strands:

• The Participatory Research project, led by Dr. Sarah Campbell and Dr. Elaine Dewhurst, uses social science methodologies and intersectional themes in ageing, law, and social care to produce a publishable report with Advisory Group members.

• The Artistic Producers include Lacy, filmmaker Mark Thomas, curator Natasha Howes and many other photographers, designers, performance and film producers, who create the individual artworks that represent the activities and goals of the entire project.

• The Advisory Group, comprised of a group of 14 women activists over 50, citizens and workers from across Manchester who represent the voices of women from their diverse communities, use community organising and media strategies to produce social engagement and advocacy.
