ArtWorks South Yorkshire celebrated iconic women throughout history! People have crafted bold, playful props inspired by trailblazing figures like Amelia Earhart, Frida Kahlo, Emmeline Pankhurst, and more. This included pearl necklaces, protest signs, paintbrushes and gold medals. The creations were featured and designed for the ‘Women of the World’ themed Photo Booth at the festival.
