Be part of something new and unique for North Lincolnshire in 2025 and help tell our story.
We need you and your family and friends to be part of an exciting new chapter of a creative national film project and exhibition, that will be shown at 20-21 Visual Arts Centre in Autumn 2025 and then tour nationally.
This long-term project is the vision of Fred Garland of Tenfoot Dance Company, working with visual artists and academic research around female equality and emancipation. The Hull chapter called ‘Turning the Tide’ explored the role of women in the renewable energy and offshore wind sector to produce a creative, performance-based film and exhibition that featured dancers and female scientists.
A North Lincolnshire chapter of ‘The Woman’s Movement 100’ national project is now in development, with the aim of producing a film and multi-media installation to be exhibited at 20-21 Visual Arts Centre, shining a light on our unique place and community.
Aspiring to become part of a 2028 presentation to mark the centenary celebration of all women getting the right to vote in London – North Lincolnshire’s video and exhibits will combine with elements from Sheffield, Newcastle, Liverpool, Hull and other regions, to create a unified national project marking this important moment.

What can I expect?
For our chapter we pick up the baton from ‘Turning the Tide’. The project in North Lincolnshire will focus on the Scunthorpe-made steel of the Humber Bridge to tell our stories, and point to a future that is shaped by our landscape, industries, allyship and action. We will use these themes in the workshops along with any ideas that you bring to the project.
Our chapter aims to work with an intergenerational community cast in mass movement, where everyone is welcome, and no previous experience is required.
We have 2 sign-up workshops at the Baths Hall Scunthorpe
Saturday 22 February 2025 12 noon – 2pm
Saturday 22 March 2025 12 noon – 2pm

There will be a series of workshops from April – leading up to filming in October. Dates and venues will be be confirmed shortly.
Fred and the other artists involved work inclusively, and you can take part in the movement in a way that works for you and your body. We will provide a friendly and supportive environment – if you come across any barriers to participation, please let us know so we can try to overcome them together.
For the exhibition at 20-21 Visual Arts Centre there will be a special preview, more workshops and talks, across a variety of art forms and subjects relevant to the project. Details will follow in the Summer.
