Art, history, and women in union.

Women unionists have always been active in organising their workplaces, but the history of Victoria's union movement has been written by men, downplaying the role of women activists and literally tearing down their monuments.

Join us as we unveil a bronze relief of union giant Helen Robertson sculpted by Jennifer Mann, an artist passionate about monument equality. With a reading from poet Maxine Beneba Clark with her original piece "We Are Union", and a fiery discussion from a panel of experts including historian Clare Wright and filmmaker Robynne Murphy on how union women can organise to celebrate and centre women's activist history in contemporary culture.

The evening will close with the Melbourne premiere of Murphy's film, Women of Steel. Tickets for the film screening are $12, available on the night.
