About this talk
Join us to explore the life and work of Cynthia Cockburn and celebrate the 100th Anniversary of The Women's Library. This event explores the life and work of Cynthia Cockburn (1934–2019), a pioneering British feminist researcher, writer, photographer, and peace activist whose work transformed thinking on gender, militarism, and conflict. We will screen three films connected to Cockburn's landmark action-research project Women Building Bridges (1995–1999): Here and There. Mapping the Space Between Us (1999, 36 mins) – Cynthia Cockburn; Which Way To Peace. Women's Strategies in Israel and Northern Ireland (1999, 33 mins) – Cynthia Cockburn; The Space Between Us (2012, 22 mins) – Dvora Liberman. The screenings will be followed by a facilitated discussion reflecting on Cockburn's legacy and the relevance of her work to contemporary conflicts and peace movements.
