WOMEN’S MARCH

Welcome back to the Medea March Edition. After eight editions and having travelled through winters and summers together, this will sadly be our last edition this year. However, we want to leave you with a little memory of us before we go.

As in March we celebrate Women’s day and women’s history month, we have tried to collect for this edition images, ideas and music that make us all reflect about what is it like to practise feminism between the ordinary and the extraordinary. We wish to have a collective reflection on the evident and subtle ways in which patriarchal narratives infiltrate our daily lives and both the exhausting labour and the unsubdued resistance that women, non-binary, trans people, and their allies engage into everyday.

We leave you now to explore the rest of the newsletter, see you on the other side.

 

AN INVITATION

This Wednesday we have organised a film screening of “Five Broken Cameras”(2011) by Emad Burnat and Guy Davidi, a first-hand documentary of Palestinian life in the Occupied West Bank.
