Feminist Society Meeting 17/04/13

Hello everyone! Welcome back (if you've been away for Easter) and here's your invite to the next Feminist Society meeting. 

17th April 2013

2.30pm

The Crumblin' Cookie, Leicester

Hope you've all had a lovely relaxing Easter break and are ready to get back down to business! Pop along for a cup of tea and some great feminist discussion. During the meeting I plan to discuss the upcoming Campus Safety Campaign and also the possibility of a spoken work/poetry night. We will also be speaking about getting the monthly zine up and running, and of course, as always, please feel free to bring up any issues/concerns or suggestions you might have!

Hope to see you all there,

Anna xoxo

Endometriosis UK Bake Sale!

Thank you so much to everyone who was involved in today's charity bake sale. All together we raised £72.92 for Endometriosis UK! This is way above what we were all expecting so thank you so much to everyone who supported the event by buying the goodies, giving generous donations, baking/providing the snacks and helping out in the cold!

An especially big thank you to Sam Sharman-Dunn, Meera Mila Sakaria, Chloe Allam, Harriet Lowne, Red Imlah, Sam Read and Robert Barry for all your support!

Thank you feminists!

Work by Meera Mila Sakaria (minus the banana)

Thank you to everyone who attended the meeting today! We were unfortunately greeted by some defaced artwork (pictured above) from the current exhibition but, in true feminist fashion, society members rose above the immaturity and named the banana 'Banana of Patriarchy' (pictured below) before half-eating it and leaving it on a coffee cup. Take that, sexism! Meera's artwork is thankfully unharmed and will hopefully stay this way!

Stay tuned for the next official society meeting which will take place in a few weeks after the Easter holidays (mid-April).

Feminism and then some ...

 Here are some photographs from the opening night of Feminism and then some..., an art exhibition curated by the society's own Katie Carroll, featuring artwork by eight young feminist artists based at De Montfort University. Everyone had a fantastic night discussing all of the extremely powerful and thought-provoking work over a glass of wine. The exhibition runs until 24th March upstairs at The Crumblin' Cookie in Leicester.
