Meet the Project
130 Women explores the contributions of local women to the place and society we live in today.
This Goldfields Women's Health Care Centre project was led by four local artists working with the community through a series of residencies, workshops, and community engagements to create a body of work recognising women from our Goldfields history. These women's stories are told through written and spoken words, complimented by a diverse visual art installation.
