Over the past five years we have collaborated with women's rights advocates across Newcastle. This resulted in the founding of our collective The Exchange, who produced the 'zine with artist Sara Hassan. Thanks to @ToonLibraries for their support

On Thursday 7th March, come and get your hands on your copy of the zine and celebrate with live poetry readings in the Women's Workspace, Level 3 of Newcastle City Library from 5pm

[Poet in the City @PoetintheCityUK]

This piece of work was made by The Exchange, a collective of women in Newcastle who are reclaiming the city for themselves through art and poetry. The zine features new work and some previously commissioned poetry from across the five years we've been working with the Libraries.

‘Women’s work is never done, they say – so come together / in so much more than a gaggle – a labour, a wave / for the work of resistance and sustenance, / the weaving of trampled threads, / the lifting up, again and over again, until we’re purple in the face’
