Call for Entries: The Nigah QueerFest'10 in Dehli, India

Now in its fourth year, The Nigah Queer Fest’10 http://www.thequeerfest.com is Dehli‘s annual celebration of queerness. The festival this year brings back the curated film festival and our popular performance component along with a visual arts exhibition, workshops, parties and more.

On July 2nd, 2009, the Delhi High Court ruled that Sec 377 of the Indian Penal Code – an anti-sodomy statute – was unconstitutional and violated the rights and dignity of queer Indians. Since that day, many have said that queer people in India are on their way to becoming “free.”

Breaking the Waves: Cardiff Feminist Festival

Teaser Image: 

“Breaking the Waves” is a grassroots, non-profit, innovative festival exploring diverse expressions of feminism through a vibrant weekend-long programme of events in Cardiff, including speakers, arts, music, discussions, and loads more!

The festival will take place in March 2011 as part of celebrations for the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day. It will be open to all and will stimulate intergenerational dialogue between all who are, or have been, working towards gender equality.

With an ethos of empowerment, inclusion and innovation, we hope to break down perceived or real generational divides, build supportive networks for future anti-sexist work in Cardiff, and ultimately seek new ways of defining what it means to be a feminist today.

NOC WALPURGII / VALPURGIS NIGHT FESTIVAL

Teaser Image: 

Noc Walpurgii festival started in 1996 in Warsaw, Poland and is organized every two years.

It's a pioneering event in Poland taking struggle against sexism and homophobia and promoting girl-fronted bands and activities.

These issues are often not taken seriously inside of the punk, DIY or antifascist scenes and we felt the importance to show that most forms of discrimination like racism, sexism, homophobia are linked and that fighting against these forms of oppression is basic for antifascist, leftist, anarchist and hardcore/punk movements.
