Anniversary – An Act of Memory is a new national participatory arts initiative by artist Monica Ross.

Ross is scheduled to perform the work in the evening of March 5th at the Women’s Library in London.
This is a call for women of all ages and backgrounds to each select and attempt to memorise one or more of the 30 articles of the Declaration in the language of their choice and to co-perform with Monica at this unique event.
