Activism (188)

In today's 'post-feminist' society, women and men are considered equal. For younger women and men, feminism is often portrayed as unfashionable and irrelevant. But since the beginning of the new millennium a revitalised feminist movement has emerged to challenge these assumptions and assert a vibrant new agenda. This groundbreaking book reveals the what, why and how of the new feminist movement and what it has to say about women's lives in today's society.

We are artists making feminist noise from a grass-roots level. FemAdLib is not just an exhibition, it's activism. It's creating a space for explicit political feminist art...and a challenge to all sexist, heteronormative art/artists/collectors/curators out there.

Hello and welcome to the website/blog for the Stop The Strip Pub campaign. This is the movement to prevent Satchmo's on Stoke Newington Road (North London) being granted a license to put on strip shows.

On 8th March a group of nearly 100 local residents met outside Satchmo's to protest Satchmo's application.

On 11th April Hackney Council announced that they had received 525 written letters of objection - a new record for the borough.

We Won! On Tuesday 6th May Hackney Council rejected Satchmo's application for a Sex Encounters Establishment license.

This is a short version of a presentation that should have been held at the Civil Media conference 2009 in Salzburg (http://www.civilmedia.eu/). Unfortunatedly, Alek got sick and could not come but she sent this presentation and gave us permission to post it here.
