We met an array of lovely people at Bologna Children’s Book Fair, who shared their ideas for another100 years, hoping for hairy legs, equality, the banning of bull racing, global empathy and respect, a ban on animal testing and the gap between rich and poor to be diminished. Thank you to all for taking part.
We also linked up with @daily_doodle, who let us take over their Twitter account for a week. We asked illustrators to draw us a picture of a different empowering woman each day. Here are some of the doodles:

Once again thank you to everyone who took part. Although our event may be over, we encourage you to continue thinking about what we can achieve in #Another100 years so that we can start making movements now in the right direction.
“In another 100 years, I hope we will have succeeded in cleaning up our oceans.”
Thank you to Peter Buncombe Photography (@PeterBuncombePhoto) for this stunning image of Aharen beach on Tokashiki island, showing clear crystal waters and a true paradise. Unfortunately, due to pollution, many of our oceans and beaches do not look like this anymore. This image represents another 100 years and the hope that we can clean up the water by then, rejuvenate our coral, save our animals, our planet and get them looking the way nature intended. #Another100 supports Mother Nature.

Only a few hours left on our campaign event. Share your images of what you would change in another 100 years and tag with #Another100 to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
Our current module on the MA Creative Events Management, is Digital Futures for Events & Events Management, hence why we are running a digital campaign. It has been fascinating exploring how the digital world affects us all and how it is evolving. It means that issues can be addressed in a whole new way than to how they were addressed back in 1918. This led the #Another100 team to explore the future not just digitally but also in terms of women’s rights.
It has been inspiring and sometimes harrowing, reading the stories of what the suffragettes went through to make a breakthrough in the voting system. In some ways, we have come a long way but in others, we have not. 100 years sounds like a long time, it is basically a lifetime, and yet there are still many inequalities that we face today, not just with men and women. There are issues that still need resolving, not just in the UK but globally, for us to be able to live in a fairer, more equal and sustainable world.
This campaign is a way to imagine a better future. To address issues that currently face us today and start us thinking about what could be and what needs to change.
With only a few days left of the campaign, we invite you to show us your future. What would you want to see in #Another100 years?
Thank you to everyone who doodled our five great women last week with @daily_doodle. We loved seeing your creations and unique styles. We are still looking for illustrations of Eva Perón and Billie Jean King so if you still want to get involved, why not give them a doodle.
Illustration has been a key player in our campaign so far. We have been to Bologna Children’s Book Fair, found out opinions of illustrators there and promoted #Another100 to them. We have encouraged Cambridge School of Visual and Performing Arts students and tutors to get involved and have linked up with @daily_doodle during the first week of the campaign asking doodlers to illustrate an inspirational woman each day. We hope to receive more illustrations during the rest of the campaign that depicts what we can and should achieve in #another100 years.

So today here is a brief look at the history of illustration in campaigns. In our initial pitch of the event, our main research focused on the #VOTE100 events. Vote100 is a celebration of women receiving the right to vote back in 1918 (100 years ago). This was a huge inspiration on #Another100, where we ask people to look forward another 100 years and create an image depicting what they would like to see changed or developed. Throughout our research into Vote 100 and the suffragette campaigning, we discovered many illustrations linked with women voting. However, it was mainly images of those opposing women receiving the vote. Most had very negative connotations, depicting women in derogatory ways.

New images have recently come to light, however, from the University of Cambridge. They have found a collection of posters from around this time that are supportive of the movement and depict strong messages about why women should have the vote.
An illustration is just that. It is illustrative of what the creator wants the viewer to see. What do you want people to achieve in another 100 years? Equal pay, cleaner oceans, acceptance of others? Let us know by illustrating your positive visions of the future and sharing them with the following hashtag: #Another100. We can’t wait to see them.

Billie Jean King (@BillieJeanKing) is a previous world number 1 tennis player. She won 39 Grand Slam titles in her career including 12 singles, 16 in women’s doubles, and 11 in mixed doubles. Billie Jean King is known as one of the greatest sportswomen, and fought for equal prize money for men and women. One of King’s most famous tennis matches, now known as the “Battle of the Sexes” was against Bobby Riggs. He goaded King into playing him. In an article published by The Guardian Richard Williams describes the match: “It was a face-off between masculine assumptions of superiority and an attempt to haul the idea of gender equality into the cultural mainstream. (Williams, 2017) For these reasons, Billie Jean King is our day 5 @daily_doodle.
Get involved with #Another100 by posting a doodle of one of our chosen inspiring women using the #Another100 and #daily_doodle. We also want to see your visions of what you think should be achieved in another 100 years so get creative.
Eva Perón also know as Evita grew up in a poverty stricken family but made her wealth as a radio actress when she moved to Buenos Aires in her teenage years. Using her fame and riches, Eva acted as a role model to many. She initiated the Eva Perón Foundation giving aid to the poor and was also a women’s rights activist helping women in Argentina gain the right to vote.
A suburb of Buenos Aires that is named after her (Evita City) is in the shape of her profile, when viewing it from the air. She has had a musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and a film starring Madonna made about her. As a salute to Eva Perón, we chose her as our day 4 daily doodle.

Thank you to Anya Kuvarzina @treesforanya, who has captured this wonderful illustration of Eva Perón:
One more great for you to doodle tomorrow: Billie Jean King. To get involved, post your doodles on Twitter or Instagram with the #another100 and #daily_doodle. We can’t wait to see your wonderful images.
We are also looking for images of what you think women will achieve in #another100 years. So get creating, doodling, illustrating, photographing or performing your visions. Whether it’s cleaning up the oceans, equal pay, overcoming body shaming or something else – we want to hear from you. Simply post your image to Twitter or Instagram with the #Another100 and we will feature your image on our social media sites.
Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) was a self-taught Mexican artist that explored race, nature, post-colonialism, class and identity in her art. She is still to this day a feminist icon from her “depiction of the female experience and form” (fridakahlo.org, 2011).
After she was involved in a bus accident, she started creating mostly self-portraits. These striking images have led to her become recognisable globally. With her iconic look, we felt it fitting to include her as one of our five daily doodles.
Thank you to James Reddington, Artist and Teacher from New York City, for producing a stunning daily doodle of the Frida Kahlo.
These amazing women have had such an impact on women’s rights and their names live on to this day. What do you see us achieving in the next 100 years? We’d love to see your visions illustrated, photographed, sculpted or written. Tag as #Another100 and we will feature it on our social media pages.
