Feminist Reading Group: Conversations on Ecofeminism

About

Embark on a journey into the intersection of ecology and feminism with Ecofeminism. Coined by feminist thinkers such as Françoise d'Eaubonne and Vandana Shiva, this term highlights the exploitation of both women and nature, often arguing that both are rooted in similar systems of power and control. This event offers a space to unravel the complexities of ecological and feminist issues, exploring their intersections and contemplating their impact.

Organised with Gugan Gill from Artefact in connection with Tatiana Wolska: Leisure as Resistance exhibition. Wolska has designed the space with a strong emphasis on facilitating and promoting gatherings and discussions centred around critical topics such as the regeneration of natural resources, climate crisis or the concept of circular economy.
