Anarcha Feminist Fest in Zagreb 2007

Teaser Image: 

Anfema is something like a group of afinities, a group of people that share oppinions and wishes and work together on different actions and projects. In this case it's about anarchism and anarcha-feminism. The group is transparent, fluid, open for everybody that's interested in it. The structure doesn't exist, nor does hierarchy while all the decisions are brought by consensus.

Outwrite (Newspaper, 1982-1988)

Digital Archives: 
Teaser Image: 

Outwrite newspaper, produced by a collective of women throughout the 1980s, was dedicated to offering news by women, for women. Self-defined as an ‘internationlist feminist’ publication, the paper focused on ‘the development of feminism worldwide’ and an examination of women’s oppressions ‘in the context of imperialism, racism and class divisions.’

Carving new ground, the newspaper was dedicated to covering social justice campaigns from an ‘internationalist’ position critical of imperialism, colonialism, racism, classism and sexism—all from women’s perspectives.
