What was Ladyfest London?

Ladyfest London took place in the summer of 2002, and was a celebration of the achievements of women, primarily in music and the arts. It was run by volunteers on a not-for-profit basis, with money raised being donated to women's charities. Although it was organised predominantly by women the festival was open to all (with the exception of a few of the workshops). For more about the ideas behind Ladyfest visit the Mission page

10. FESTIVAL RDEČE ZORE / Red Dawns / Die Rote Zora Festival

Teaser Image: 

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?
