Last week we held a mini W+IGS celebration at Leeds to say goodbye to our outgoing Chair,
@profingrid.bsky.social — thank you for your committed, inspiring, feminist leadership during turbulent times. 💜
We are delighted to share that #W+iGS has a new logo! 🎉We are very grateful to Miriam de Búrca, an Irish-German artist, for generously granting us permission to use her image from her 'Native Aliens' series for our new logo.

Ingrid said: "I learned so much from my time as WIGS+ Chair. It's a special organisation and I do miss my role, but plan to remain an active member."
Here's Ingrid at Glyndebourne in 2022 for the UK premiere of Ethel Smyth’s The Wreckers, wearing a suffrage sash in honour of Smyth’s feminist legacy
