The reasons for a new edition of Punto G, ten years after in Genoa, June 2011
Ten years ago, on June 2001, in Genoa at San Giorgio Palace, the women network (who at that time joined the World March of Women) started the agenda of political events and rallies of Genoa Social Forum with an international meeting titled Punto G: gender and globalization – For an equal, democratic, fair, supporting and peaceful society of women and men, that ended with a demonstration in the centre of the city.

Marking its 12th year, the International Feminist and Queer Festival Red Dawns is going to take place at various venues of AKC Metelkova Mesto (Ljubljana, Slovenia) between March 8th and 11th 2011.

The organizers invite aspiring artists, activists, researchers and collectives whose works explore issues of the body, gender identity and sexuality, to participate in the festival. Feminist and queer views on other axes of difference and social justice are welcome as well.

Submission deadline: Wednesday, January 5th 2011

Make/shift magazine creates and documents contemporary feminist culture and action by publishing journalism, critical analysis, and visual and text art. Made by an editorial collective committed to antiracist, transnational, and queer perspectives, make/shift embraces the multiple and shifting identities of feminist communities. We know there’s exciting work being done in various spaces and forms by people seriously and playfully resisting and creating alternatives to systematic oppression. Make/shift exists to represent, participate in, critique, provoke, and inspire more of that good work.
