Genderqueer Suffragist Pride Flag

Suffragist/suffragette was considered a "third sex", and suffrage flag is very similar to the genderqueer flag by @gqid.

Suffragism: the belief that the right to vote should be extended to more people, especially women; the fight for the right of women to vote in elections. Genderqueer: general term encompassing experiences beyond the typical binary/cis notions of gender; a countercultural gender identity.

NORTHERN ART CARBOOTY 2018 PERFORMER: Gemma Parker

PERFORMING: The Tattooed Lady

Tattoo designs to celebrate the 100 years since women got the vote in the UK and Manchester’s place as the birth of Suffrage!

Funded by Arts Council England the tattoos will be available from Gemma Parker’s 1900′s style temporary tattoo dispenser as part of Northern Art Carbooty on August 26th.

More about this project:

Originally commissioned for HOME's opening exhibition, The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things, The Tattooed Lady is inspired by tattooed performers of the 1900's. This work takes on the form of an end of the pier penny arcade machine from the same era. An interactive art work with flashing bulbs and a friendly 'ding!' that offers audiences the chance to take a piece of art home with them, either as a keepsake for posterity or as some temporary 'ink' to wear proudly on their skin.
