Your Invitation To FiLiA 2019

Calling all feminist campaigners, activists, artists, academics and revolutionaries. Calling all women!

We are the daughters of the women who came before us; women who fought for our children, our bodies, ourselves. Their legacy challenges us to keep fighting for the liberation of all women and girls today.

The FiLiA 2019 conference brings together sisters taking down patriarchy, fighting injustices across the world, fighting violence towards women, pay disparity, discrimination against refugees, racism, classism. No topic is taboo. All are welcome.

“Certainly there are very real differences between us…But it is not those differences between us that are separating us. It is rather our refusal to recognize those differences…” . . . THE KEY TENETS OF FEMINISM, ACCORDING TO AUDRE LORDE 1. All forms of oppression are interrelated, and one cannot talk about feminism without acknowledging race, class, gender expression, sexuality, and any other markers of one’s identity. 2. Bringing about change requires taking a stand and having your voice heard. (Lorde famously said, “Your silence will not protect you.”) 3. Our differences don’t divide us. They are inevitable, and invitations for us to accept and celebrate one another. 4. Revolution is a process. (It is not, as Lorde said, “a one time event.”) 5. Feelings are a form of knowledge, and can and should inform activism. 6. Pain is important information, as it guides us to figure out how to transcend it. . . . . . . #intersectionalism #womanism #feminism #blackfeminist #oppression #lesbian #womanist #blackfeminism #difference #blackgirlmagic #empowerment #queerwomenofcolour #blackpoet #blackauthor #audrelorde #woc #audrelordequotes #ToTheGirls #artbykeebs #blackgirlmagic #blackgirlswrite #blackgirlsrock #tothegirls #sisterhood

“It’s been a very difficult thing being a lead singer of a rock band looking like me and it still is. I have to say it’s been a fight and it will always be a fight. That fight is interesting and that fight drives you and makes you want to work harder. I want to say to any new artists out there, man you’re in for a ride. It’s not going to be easy, it’s not supposed to be easy, it’s the friggin’ music business and you’re women, and some of you are black and some of you are gay like me. You’ve got to keep moving forward, keep striving for everything you want to be. Keep being very, very individual and doing exactly what you want.” Double-platinum selling frontwoman of Skunk Anansie -Skin, receiving the Inspirational Artist award at the @musicweekinsta Women in Music Awards, November 2018. . . . . . #leabianswag #lesbianswagger #rockstar #skunkanansie #frontwoman #metoo #desi #womensliberationmovement #womensrights #feministasfuck #globalrights #equalrightsforwomen #smashpatriarchy #feministsbelike #feministsunite #feministbadass #lesbianpride #lesbianmemes #lesbianartist #gaywoman #pride #blackgaypride
