The second weekend of The Open Door Exhibition will feature: COMMUNITY MANIFESTO writing workshop with The Feminist Library (Peckham) for local residents of all ages. Together, we will think, converse, and map the intersections of our diverse stories and feminisms, exploring how the personal is political, and visualising what our collective power holds. Participants will explore intersections of feminist theory and how they relate to our everyday lives, and will collaboratively produce a collective manifesto that outlines their desires for imagining otherwise. By the end of the workshop, participants will have created individual manifestos and one communal one.
The workshop will include examples of Feminist Manifestos including:
– SCUM Manifesto (Valerie Solanas)
– The Black Women’s Manifesto
– The Woman Identified Woman (Radicalesbians)
– The Combahee River Collective Statement
– Redstockings Manifesto
– Sojourner Truth’s “Ain’t I A Woman?”
Both workshops take place in hARTslane Gallery (17 Harts Lane, SE14 5UP – Nearest tube: New Cross Gate). For more info & signing up, please email tisna.westerhof@gmail.com
