Anne Berg based in mid Wales designed a poster for each of the touring shows of their exhibition Woman Magic (1978-1983) starting out in the Port City of Bristol<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u2018Moving from politics to magick we were still radical in our thinking\u2019, in the words of artists Beverley Skinner, Anne Berg, Marika Tell and Monica Sj\u00f6\u00f6<\/p>\n

The works include radical visionary symbolism that mitigates against ecological crisis and social justice, openly campaigning for marginalised groups. The group of women artists that formed initially Woman Power<\/em> then Woman Magic<\/em> in Bristol in the 70s were advocates for a collaborative society that valued this form of interconnectivity, holistic thinking and care. Focusing on issues of inequality, climate justice, indigenous rights and racial inequality their activism operated personally, spiritually and collectively through visual campaigns in both poster forms and touring painting shows. They felt empowered to carry with them a sense of healing and value for ancestral knowledge, that returned into ecological sustainability, connecting local actions in the port city of Bristol to global movements.<\/p>\n

Note: The term ecofeminism was coined by French Writer Fran\u00e7oise d\u2019Eaubonne in 1974 linking feminism with Green Politics.<\/p>\n
