Remembering Resistance was developed by Sarah Marsden and Chris Boyko. Sarah is based at the University of St Andrews and Chris works at Lancaster University. Chris works on urban design, and Sarah looks at politics and protest.

From   the   beginNing

Where   we   are   now

Chris and Sarah first started exploring the potential of bringing together ideas about urban design & political protest in 2016. We began with a shared interest in how people use space & what this reveals about efforts to bring about political change. Since then we've been testing out ideas & seeing where it takes us. 

We've spent the last couple of years collecting stories about women's activism & mapping the places & spaces associated with protest in the North of England. We've collected lots of information & now we're exploring its scope & potential through a series of projects including Mobilise! & a Woman's March Through Time.
