An Interview with Judith (from Austria) at the Red Dawns festival, Ljubljana

Topic: 
LGBT and queer issues
Teaser Image: 

Please introduce yourself....

J: I’m Judith and I am 21 years old. At the moment I live in Vienna, Austria. I’m doing feminist things for some years. The last big thing I organised was the queer-feminist days in Vienna. I think what is important to me at the moment is that my activism is feminist, but it is not this ‘we are women and we are proud to be women and we are all the same’ and stuff like that. At the moment some anti-racist stuff is important for me and feminism with queer politics also.

Ladyfest Berlin, Germany 2008

Location

Berlin
Germany
52° 31' 22.4616" N, 13° 24' 41.616" E

"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."

Anarcha Feminist Fest in Zagreb 2007

Location

Zagreb
Croatia

Anfema is something like a group of afinities, a group of people that share oppinions and wishes and work together on different actions and projects. In this case it's about anarchism and anarcha-feminism. The group is transparent, fluid, open for everybody that's interested in it. The structure doesn't exist, nor does hierarchy while all the decisions are brought by consensus.
