York Carnival of Feminist Activism

Last year, Annalytica pointed the Lashers towards an awesome-sounding event coming up at the University of York:

This carnival is part-festival and part-conference. The event brings together people from many nations to learn from each other, celebrate activist creativity, and advance feminist work. Come along for craft workshops, papers, performances and small exhibitions which explore ways in which art in many forms can open up spaces for thinking and for action.

We ask, can feminist art save the world, and if so, how?

Well, this sounded pretty much like our natural habitat. Many of us have academic leanings, and all of us are into activism & celebrations!

The event took place last month, and it was a blast. Over on the Lashings blog I've just published my write-up of some of the fascinating and empowering things that we got up to - think of it as "What I did on my feminist holidays, by Sebastienne, aged 25¼".
