Ocean is today celebrating International Women’s Day by amplifying local initiatives that mark the centenary law anniversary that secured the right for women to vote in the UK and to promote the positive impact women have on their communities.

Photography students at Nottingham College are commemorating Women’s rights with an exhibition of 100 photographs of local women using the city’s largest digital out of home screen as a canvas for their work.

Ocean’s vast digital screen which dominates the entrance to Nottingham’s Intu Victoria Centre is being used for this showcase. Learn more about this campaign here.
