Saturday Panel Talks:
This time around, Sheroes-Revoluciones will also include a full day of panel talks that through the voices of women in the academia, public figures, artists and activists will provide a space for reflection on the following topics:
PANEL TALK #1 |
‘Women’s (Mis)representation: Why celebrating our Sheroes is important’.
With history in large told from a male, whitewashed trajectory we want to use this space to discuss why highlighting women’s hidden stories is vital not just for a feminist re-telling of history, but to honour those who have been overlooked and overshadowed, in ultimately assessing; has anything really changed?
PANELLISTS: Vivienne Hayes MBE, CEO of Women’s Resource Centre, Sasha Shantel, founder of Women Who Slay, Deen Atger, Creative Producer at Ugly Duck, Dyana Gravina, Founder & Creative Director of Procreate, Julia Pascal, playwright and theatre director and scholar and María González, Founder and Creative Director of Lon-art.
PANEL TALK #2 |
‘Violence Against Women and Girls and the State.’
This topic will endeavour to engage conversations around how society perpetuates VAWG, undergirded by structural violence present within our governance structures.
PANELLISTS: Catherine Hinwood, Deputy Director for Family and Criminal Justice Policy at the Ministry of Justice, Tara Casey, Women’s Justice Advocate from Appeal, Deeba Syed, Activist and sexual harassment lawyer for rights of women, Marcela Benedetti representative of Latin American Women’s Rights (LAWRS), lawyer and activist, Laura Gomez, Training and Development Coordinator at Solace Women’s Aid and North London Rape Crisis Centre Manager and Lara Snowdon, Violence Prevention Programme Lead at Public Health Wales.
PANEL TALK #3 |
‘What is next for feminism. Looking forward.’
From #MeToo, to #TimesUp, #YoSíTeCreo and Chilean feminist performance; ‘Un violador en tu camino’ we have seen a surge in global feminist uprising – but what next? Have we gone far enough? This panel talk will address some of these burning questions as we look to the future of feminism.
PANELLISTS: Mandu Reid, Leader of the Women’s Equality Party, Ammaarah Zayna, activist, writer, educator and campaigner with Our Streets Now, Violeta Monzón Interian, counsellor and forensic psychologist, Lucy Warin from Transition by Design and Bisila Noha, artist and Director at Operations at Lon-art.
