International feminist and queer festival; March 5th – 8th 2009, Ljubljana, Slovenia

Red Dawns will rise for the 10th time! Over the years, the festival has transformed and grown under the influence of all the people that participated, debated, reacted and witnessed our ravagings. What used to be a women's fest turned into an eclectic feminist-queer celebration that cares less about adjectives and more about adverbs, asking: How? When? Why?

I have always felt that Riot Grrrl is a movement that offers a platform for women to express themselves in any way they feel necessary. This project offers a unique insight into an underground feminist subculture, showing the dedicated and creative people within it. I shall be photographing and collecting Portraits of people who feel they have been inspired or moved by Riot Grrrl, through the internet community and various photo booths which I will be setting up at feminist events over Britain.

Dandizette is an online gazette about deviant media in all its forms. We celebrate unique and independent contributions to an increasingly saturated and standardized media world. This includes old and new media alike, but we revel in the trouble-making potential of new media technologies and their — dare we say? — democratising nature.

Make/shift magazine creates and documents contemporary feminist culture and action by publishing journalism, critical analysis, and visual and text art. Made by an editorial collective committed to antiracist, transnational, and queer perspectives, make/shift embraces the multiple and shifting identities of feminist communities. We know there’s exciting work being done in various spaces and forms by people seriously and playfully resisting and creating alternatives to systematic oppression. Make/shift exists to represent, participate in, critique, provoke, and inspire more of that good work.

WANT TO WORK ON AN EXHIBITION OF 1980s RADICAL ANTI-IMPERIALIST MEDIA??!! Outwrite newspaper, produced by a collective of women throughout the 1980s, was dedicated to offering news by women, for women. Self-defined as an ‘internationlist feminist’ publication, the paper focused on ‘the development of feminism worldwide’ and an examination of women’s oppressions ‘in the context of imperialism, racism and class divisions.’ The goal of this exhibition is to bring Outwrite’s politics alive in the present, to reflect on its struggles and successes with the aim of igniting future possibilities.

Nikki McClure of Olympia, Washington is known for her painstakingly intricate and beautiful paper cuts. Armed with an X-acto knife, she cuts out her images from a single sheet of paper and creates a bold language that translates the complex poetry of motherhood, nature, and activism into a simple and endearing picture. - Cinders Gallery

She also gave us permission to use her beautiful images for our header for the grassroots feminism site. Thanks so much, Nikki!
