Friday May 29th 2015, ‘The trouble with feminism’ spoken word night. Doors open at 18:30, event starts at 19:00

We welcome you to our spoken word night about feminism! Bring your own text or someone else’s! (If it is not your text, make sure you know something about the author)

Read it out loud, recite it, rap it, shout it out or whatever works for you! (Or just come and watch)

We have two options:

1. We use the theme 'The trouble with feminism.' The theme is inspired by this Everyday Feminism comic and by loads of lived experiences.

OR

2. We do not use the abovementioned theme, but draw our inspiration from a very broad definition of 'feminist issues.' So feel free to make your performance about anything YOU think is connected to feminism. And about your experience.

To us, that can be anything from racism, transphobia, marxist feminism, colorism, gender roles, pay gap, rape culture, pride, reproductive rights, global warming, masculinity, transmisogyny, femmephobia, sex work, beauty standards, black feminism, white middle class feminism, body autonomy, feminism and class, men and feminism, overly academic feminism, fat positivity, inclusive spaces, media representation, safe spaces, body positivity, sex positivity, queer feminism, identity politics, Islamophobia, cat calling, hair, women’s and trans only spaces, 'no straight PDAs' spaces, communicating consent, and anything else you may have spotted through your experiences.

We try to keep it safe, so if you come, please try not to be an asshole.

If you wanna perform, drop a line at joeworkshops@squat.net. You can also just show up and decide then if you feel inspired or not.
