Artists Ursula Dutkiewicz and Fern Smith joined forces creating The Age of Suff-Rage travelling installation. One hundred ceramic suffragists along with ten commemorative banners, The Age of Suff-Rage news and public speaking, demonstrated with pertistent determination of the women who brought about the vote for Victorian women. In Victoria the struggle was harder and took far longer to achieve, being the last state in Australia to give women the vote, as the senate kept blocking bills enabling women's suffrage.

URSULA DUTKIEWICZ: Ursula explored the women who championed for women's voting rights in Victoria. An abstract ceramic artist by trade diverged from her abstract interpretations and prioduced 100 hundred suffragists as an installation.

FERN SMITH: A banner is a rallying point, a visual form of identity, a clarion call and symbol to re-interpret both genres. I have utilizing the rich diverse works of women artists and demonstration banners from 1870's to 1920 in Australia, England, and America.
