RE-VISION

The aim for this festival is to create various platforms inside and outside of artistic environments for all performance artists identifying as feminist or holding feminist possibilities within their practices. This will include interrogating gender inequality in society, fighting for empowerment of women and addressing issues relating to identity, gender and sexuality. The personal is political, what does this mean to you and what can this look like through performance art?

The main theme within this two-day performing arts festival is contemporary gender politics and connecting issues and configurations of power. How can a more creative approach; such as performance art, drama and spoken word, create a space to explore emotions and engage in feminist discourse? This festival aims to move beyond gender mainstreaming and to inspire engagement and action.

This is not a funded festival. The reason I am hoping for some money for RE-VISION is that I believe in supporting and accommodating the artists. the money will allow me to make sure each artist is fed and hydrated throughout the festival. The festival will commence on the 6th of September in The American Bar, Belfast and throughout the day Saturday the 7th, inside and outside of artistic environments. I hope you lovely people will believe in my idea as much as I do! 

LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN!
