I'd like to meet:
We are a non-profit, grassroots, do-it-yourself collective who seek to promote urban feminism(a term coined by the lovely Julie of Ladyfest Vancouver). We work from a frame work that is pro-feminist, trans-inclusive, and anti-oppressive. We seek to build community among Toronto’s feminist business, art, activist and academic community. We believe that art is a powerful form of resistance and hope to incite dialogue about contemporary feminist issues in our city. We will be providing a venue for women to express themselves and showcase their work free of sexism, classism, racism, and homophobia; as well as other forms of oppression.We believe that politics can be fun and hope to facilitate political action, create tools for feminist networking and make this years festival an annual event. We will proudly showcase the talent and actions of both local and international women. Ultimately, we hope Ladyfest T.O. inspires women everywhere to organise themselves and create similar spaces that allow women's creative works to be seen and heard, as other Ladyfest’s have for us.We are always looking for new people to collaborate with. Artists, Musicians, and Volunteers. Please email us for more information at [email protected]
