CALL: Invitation for Participation – D.I.Y. (queer-)feminist festival (Vienna, June 6-9, 2013)

Dear all!
We would like to invite you to participate in our self-organized D.I.Y. queer*_feminist super cool festival of awesomeness against Western bias :-) The idea to organize a queer_feminist festival originated among a small group of migrants* from this imaginary place called (South)Eastern Europe, looking for a space where they could engage in a critique of the hegemony of Western queer_feminist concepts and focus on self-representation, empowerment and networking. Since then, people from many different contexts and backgrounds agreed to work together to organize the festival. Our mutual goal is to bring together activists, artists, performers and (other) interested people from various feminist and LGBTIAQQ**- spaces and regions out of (South)Eastern contexts. Literally, we want to create a space for debating and examining representations, differences and imbedded power-relations.

Topic: 
Activism
Do-It-Yourself
Ladyfest
LGBT and queer issues
Migration & border issues
Networking & community building

Was wir tun
Aktionsformen
Das Lady*fest wird als theoretische politische Intervention oder theoretischer Aktivismus verstanden. Dazu gehören symbolische Guerillastrategien und die Irritation von üblichen Sehgewohnheiten.
Ziel ist es, Grenzen zu überschreiten und „Normalität“ in Frage zu stellen, um eine Vervielfältigung der Zweigeschlechtlichkeit zu erreichen.
Lady*fest bedeutet in diesem Kontext kultureller Widerspruch.
