The significance of the image on the handkerchief goes far beyond this modest embroidered object. Its beauty belies the women’s struggle and suffering whilst revealing their bond with the embroidered word.

To accompany the Motive Motif exhibition, we will also be displaying a short film, and the banners made at Mostyn, Theatre Clwyd, and Ruthin Craft Centre for PROCESSIONS a mass-participation project produced by Artichoke and commissioned by 14-18 NOW in 2018.
PROCESSIONS was a moment for celebration and reflection and a living portrait of what it means to be a woman today. On Sunday 10 June 2018, the streets of our four UK capitals, Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh and London, were transformed into vast rivers of green, white and violet as tens of thousands of women and girls converged to mark 100 years of the first British women voting.

Mae arwyddocâd y ddelwedd ar yr hances yn mynd ymhell y tu hwnt i’r gwrthrych brodio cymedrol hwn. Mae ei harddwch yn cuddio brwydr a dioddefaint y merched wrth ddatgelu eu cwlwm â’r gair brodiedig.
Arddangoswyr: Ghada Amer, Chila Burman, Anthony Burrill, Jo Cope, Dorothy Cross, Phoebe English, Molly Goddard, Mona Hatoum, Charlotte Hodes, Anne Howeson, Peter Kennard, Sarah Lucas, Heather Phillipson, Celia Pym, Daniel Ramos, Anila Rubiku, Francesca Smith, Helen Storey, Sage Townsend and Rachel Whiteread.
Curadwyd gan Charlotte Hodes ac Alison Moloney.
I gyd-fynd ag arddangosfa Motive Motif, byddwn ni hefyd yn dangos ffilm fer ynghyd â’r baneri a wnaed yn oriel Mostyn, Theatr Clwyd a Chanolfan Grefft Rhuthun ar gyfer PROCESSIONS – prosiect cyfranogaeth dorfol a gynhyrchwyd gan Artichoke ac a gomisiynwyd gan 14-18 NOW yn 2018.
Roedd PROCESSIONS yn adeg o ddathlu a myfyrio ac yn bortread byw o’r hyn mae’n golygu i fod yn fenyw heddiw. Ar ddydd Sul, 10 Mehefin 2018 wrth i ddegau ar filoedd o fenywod a merched ymgasglu i nodi canmlwyddiant y bleidlais i ferched ym Mhrydain, trawsnewidiwyd pedair prifddinas y DG, Belffast, Caerdydd, Caeredin a Llundain yn afonydd enfawr o wyrdd, gwyn a fioled.
