Join artist Rachel Carter as she shares her sculptural journey researching her ancestors working in the Darley Abbey cotton Mill of the early 1800’s and the textile industries links to the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and how this developed into a new sculpture highlighting the contributions of women to the wealth of the industrial Midlands.

Hear some of the poetry written as part of the Standing In This Place project that asked why only 5% of public statues in the UK represent women and even fewer women of colour.
