Lois Weaver receives WOW Women in Creative Industries Award

Lois Weaver wins WOW Women in Creative Industries Award

On 7th March 2018 Lois Weaver (Split Britches) was awarded a WOW Women in Creative Industries Award for Fighting the Good Fight. The Fighting the Good Fight award is 'in recognition of a woman who has demonstrated great tenacity and on-going commitment to excellence within the creative industries'. Lois was honored to have received the award and stated:

"I was so sure that I wouldn't win I didn't prepare a speech. What I did manage to say is that those of us who are out there fighting in all of our big and small ways don't often stop to think of it as the 'good fight' and in fact we are extremely privileged to be able to think of our struggles as 'good fights' when so many women are actually fighting for their lives. I want to share the award and anything I could with those women everywhere!"

They're bringing UXO to Cardiff, Dublin, Galway, Sligo, London, Glasgow AND bringing Retro(per)spective to Battersea Arts Centre! Catch Split Britches coming soon to a city near you...
