"Ladyfest Leipzig 2011

Und da sich diese Verhältnisse nun einmal nicht von ganz allein ändern, haben wir uns entschieden, im Jahr 2011 endlich wieder ein Ladyfest in Leipzig stattfinden zu lassen. Das Ladyfest ist ein feministisches, unkommerzielles, subkulturelles, d.i.y.-Festival, das seinen Ursprung im Jahr 2000 in den USA hat. Ein Ladyfest bietet uns die Möglichkeit, Räume und Orte, die größtenteils „männlich“ belegt sind, einzunehmen und umzudefinieren. Einfach gesagt: Freiräume zu schaffen.

"_fest (advancing the ideas of ladyfest: play gender 2008)

'… To keep up the illusion of two clearly separated genders our (German) language only knows the two articles “she” and “he”, as well as the related two endings [...]. Everything that is located outside this system is constantly being denied, In contrast to this I want to position a different space for sexuality, a space that is to be explored and that we should fight for, the space looks like this: _ This is certainly not only about opening up spaces for intersexual
