As part of International Women’s Month 2026, this collection of stories transforms Lincoln’s iconic landmarks into a living map of female experience, celebrating the diverse roles women play within the city's cultural and social fabric.

At the LNER Stadium, the "Kicking Off" exhibit highlights the grit and community spirit of those redefining women’s roles in sport and industry.

The Lawn [brought to life by the Lincoln Museum and Usher Gallery] hosts a profound exploration of "Becoming Mum," capturing the raw, creative, and ancestral transitions of motherhood through the We are the Matriarchy exhibition and expressions from five old, new, or expectant mothers. Followed by the stories of 4 Mothers who are… the Matriarchy.
