Info:
CoWeb gets produced once a year during the City of Women festival. Every day of the festival, the events are documented online; in various languages, critical thoughts are formed about the events, discussions with festival guests take place, and the audience is asked about their opinions. Coweb represents the idea of the creation of DIY do-it-yourself web content and presents an opposition to mass media while at the same time serving as a form of critique of their treatment of culture.

Feminist Media Production in Europe (funded by FWF 2008-2011)

Women have always played an important role in movements for social justice. Using media to transport their messages, to disrupt social orders and to spin novel social processes, feminists have long recognized the importance of self-managed media. In the past two decades an increasing number of women have taken the tools of media production into their hands; a vital social phenomenon that has gone largely undetected by members of the public, academia, and even sometimes the feminist movement.

Evie, please could you shortly introduce yourself?
My name is Evie. I have been a feminist for several years and an antiracist, gender and transgender activist before that as well. I've studied computer science before, and right now I'm studying psychology. I'm a member of several feminist groups in Belgium; I'm writing for a magazine and doing activist work in Ghent and I started the De Tweede Sekse feminist blog http://tweedesekse.wordpress.com/ at the end of 2008.

How did you come to feminism?
