Virtual Suffrage Banner Workshop with Heritage Resource Consultant Sarah Marsom and Better Days 2020

Better Days is excited to welcome Heritage Resource Consultant Sarah Marsom for a virtual suffrage banner workshop! Learn about the iconography of the suffrage movement in America and create your own banner to pay homage to a woman of the past, reinterpret a historic banner, or advocate for women&#x27;s rights today. After a short presentation on the history of women&#x27;s rights and craftivism, focusing on the people, places, and iconography tied to historic suffrage banners, Sarah will guide participants through the creation of their own small banners out of felt. (You can hand stitch your banner or use glue).Sarah explains: &quot;Women used sewing as a way to not only gain financial autonomy but to also craft a voice for themselves in politics. Fabric banners were integral to the women&#x27;s rights movement in the 1800/1900s around the world.&quot; In Utah, suffragists created banners to show support for women&#x27;s voting rights, both in Utah&#x27;s state constitution and in the 19th Amendment.&quot;.....................................................................................................................................The mission of <a href="http://www.betterdays2020.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Better Days 2020</a> is to popularize Utah Women&#x27;s History in creative and communal ways.Sarah Marsom&#x27;s work as a heritage resource consultant is rooted in empowering the next generation of community advocates and increasing representation of lesser known histories.
