As you all may know, the opening night for The DMU Feminist Society's Art Exhibition at The Crumblin' Cookie in Leicester took place on Monday 4th February from 6-9pm. There was an excellent, no, FANTASTIC turnout from both men and women of all ages and lifestyles. Some who attended were either current students or graduates of De Montfort University. Some had heard of the exhibition through posters placed around Leicester. Overall, a very diverse group came along and The DMU Feminist Society even made some links to other feminist organisations and film makers who are currently interested in joining forces. We have also received comments from these organisations explaining how delighted they are that a group of artists have declared themselves as feminists without shame; apparently the DMU Feminist Society and exhibitions such as this have been a rarity around Leicester in recent years.
Here are some photographs from the hanging of the exhibition on Sunday 3rd February...

There is also a Comedy Festival in Leicester, and The Crumblin' Cookie is being used as a venue for several of these comedy performances throughout February, so there are two good reasons to visit!
Please note that the exhibition is upstairs. You must walk through the cafe/bar and up the stairs on your left to view the exhibition.
Stay tuned for more information regarding our online merchandise store!
