Lisbon’s Feminist Festival is an inclusive, intersectional, self-managed and non-profit festival. It’s first edition will take place in the month of March in 2018. This is a volunteer kind of project organized by a group of people who reclaim and proclaim feminism with very diverse experiences and paths.

You can build the Festival with us, submitting proposals for initiatives through this form: https://goo.gl/forms/GbGFHqDprxrQVIba2

Workshops, debates, concerts, performances, theater, cinema, exhibitions and any form of expression which has feminism and gender equality as an inspiration are welcome. We  will bring together a diverse and comprehensive program, representing  various feminism’s, through different experiences, identities, bodies and territories. We hope that all participants will be able to relate themselves with the activities of the Festival and find tools and possibilities of intervention in a safe and open space. Hence, we invite everyone - individuals, groups, associations. Share your ideas and concerns, submit your artistic project, propose a space for discussion, join us in this revolution. We will continue to make  feminism a fight for all, equal opportunities, diversity and  self-determination. Dead line for submission is December 31 (New date is January 7!).

We are also looking for suitable venues to host the Festival’s actions. If you happen to be the owner or know of any available venue, please contact us: festivalfeministalisboa@gmail.com

Important info:

Lisbon’s Feminist Festival will happen every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, through March 2018. The festival last official day is March 25th before Easter holidays.

Activities time frame can vary - from an exhibition which lasts the whole month, a cinema cycle for a weekend or a half hour performance.

We do not create any limitations regarding this. We  will launch a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds, with which we  intend to cover the minimum expenses for carrying out the initiatives. 

Thus, it is essential to understand the costs that each activity entails and self-sustainability is a differential factor.

Any activity that incites violence, misogyny, racism, homophobia or trans-phobia will be excluded.

Please share this invitation and if you have any queries feel free to contact us!

Dearest Cunts,

March is almost here and like many of you already know, this is the month where we feel the responsibility and enthusiasm to publish a new Zine. After all the terrible events that populated the last few months of 2016 (Brexit, Pulse, Trump etc…) the theme for nr 10 almost chose itself before our eyes. Carrie Fisher left an incredible and unique legacy, as Princess Leia, the symbol of the Resistance and Rebellion, and also for her constant social activism, using comedy as a way to talk about issues that are usually put to the side for being too “heavy”. From feminism, to openly discussing the effects of mental diseases and how those affect us physically and socially as well as psychologically, her history with drug abuse or how her stardom lead her to question a lot of her decisions as an actress and as a human. Last month, January 21st, her image became a non-official icon for the Women’s March. And what a huge amount of Strength this demonstration of Resistance provided to all of us. To resist is to fight, to take on the future with all strengths even when it seems so dark and scary, to resist is to stop being controlled by other and taking control, to resist is to keep on living our most authentic Self, through our group of friends, our families, our identities, our voices and our art. I hereby invite you all to join us in making this #10 a guide of Resistance, for all of those who cannot march on the streets for one reason or another, for those who cannot talk freely about their issues and their dreams, for those who question the rules we were taught growing up as being “the right thing” or “normal thing” to finally taking up the space we all deserve, through authenticity and freedom of expression. The zine is going to be A5 as usual (images in JPG are preferred as well as texts no longer than 4 A5 pages) and the cover will be selected from all the works we receive, therefore we accept the following: Drawings/Illustrations Photography Texts/Poetry Manifests Social and Cultural critical essays Collages Image manipulations (and more suggestions that you would like to share with us are more than welcomed!)

Send your works to:

girlsincontrolpt@gmail.com until March 5th.

We Exist and therefore Resist. Always. Thank you all, RS

“The energy between us was so intense that it seemed to atomize the room, manifesting an incandescence that was our own.”

Patti Smith and Dutch art therapist Bettie Ringma in CBGB’s, late 1976 (photo by Marc Miller).

“Patti Smith was hanging around at the bar, but no one was taking pictures of her because she was super-shy.

She posed with me and then just went away: some musicians are like that, they’re not into socialising. They’re just artists.”

Bettie Ringma
