    National Museum of Roller Derby

    The National Museum of Roller Derby (NMRD) collection was founded at Glasgow Women’s Library in 2012 as Harrison’s contribution to the Library’s 20th anniversary celebrations. As a new โ€˜outreachโ€™ initiative, the NMRD aims to bring a whole new, strong and revolutionary young audience to the Library, by using it as a home for the UKโ€™s first permanent archive for the new and exciting all-female, full-contact sport of Womenโ€™s Flat Track Roller Derby.

    Hen Weekend

    In 2007 Harrison devised and founded Hen Weekend – ‘the seminar by the sea for female artists, writers and curators. The project aims to facilitate discussion and encourage collaboration between its participants, and to begin to create a unique support network for talented female practitioners working within the contemporary art sector. Hen Weekend events take place in collaboration with seaside art centres around the UK. The pilot event took place at De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill on Sea from 30 March – 1 April 2007.
