Ladyfest

Info:
Not Lady-Like is a travel zine by Nina Nijsten about her experiences at Ladyfest Berlin 2005. It's a combination of a travel journal, a long festival review, rants about the word lady, gender and "the Hooker incident", info about Berlin, with little portraits of some of the people she met, photos, recipes, drawings, tabs, DIY ideas, a few self-defense tips, a quiz, collages, etc. Nina has founded ECHO a "low-budget DIY feminist media, music and art production" label where she is publishing her various zines, tapes, etc. Not Lady-Like can get downloaded from this website; other zines: punk feminist, flapper gathering, Radix, (Different Wolrds) Same Heartbeats, Coma to Action

Statement:
the F.I.A. (fete/femei/feminism in actiune/activism - women/girls/feminism in action/activism) group, formed in 2008 from the former ladyfest-ro collective, focuses on various anti-sexist initiatives in Romania. an important part of the group’s mission is collaborating and working together with other groups and people, as well as supporting other initiatives, that deal with social justice, including gender justice. our main projects are a “travelling” library of zines, books and other feminist/feminist-friendly materials, the f.i.a. site and blog, and the “gender network” list.

The ladyfest-ro collective has so far also organised two ladyfests in Bucharest (2007) and in Timisoara (2005) and published two zines (Zina lf_ro #1 & #2) to accompany the festivals which can get read on this blog

Fett is a feminist magazine, which comes out with four issues per year. The magazine is published by the Women's Front, with financial support from the Freedom of Expression and the Norwegian Cultural Council, but the editorial work on independent basis. Fett is a member of the Norwegian Association Journal (www.tidsskriftforeningen.no)

Who are we to make fett? A lot of promising women and a few men who are tired of the usual press buy and sell stereotypical notions of gender and sexuality. Now hold it!

"LaD.I.Y.fest is a non-profit volunteer run 'Do It Yourself' (D.I.Y.) festival of music, art, performance and workshops organized and orchestrated by feminist activists, artists and musicians of various genders. It helps to showcase the skills and talents of a diverse group of groundbreaking feminist people working in the arts, community building and activism. It is a PARTICIPATORY festival, a community festival.

In Berlin we take on the idea of the first Ladyfests of 'empowering the presence of women in the arts' and try to take it further, outside the binary gender system."

"Ladyfest heisst vor allem musik, workshops, filme, fanzines, intervention, zusammenkommen,..... es soll einiges passieren, bis wir aber so weit sind, müssen wir noch viele dinge checken.

aus den unterschiedlichsten ecken kommen wir zusammen, um zu organisieren, zu diskutieren, haben die unterschiedlichsten träume und vorstellungen, wie alles aussehen soll. doch ein paar dinge sind für uns jetzt schon klar: wir wollen mal lauter, mal leise, umkrempeln, aus konstruierten rollen
