Events

Celebrated artists, politicians, performers, community workers and LGBT activists will offer insights into contemporary gender issues in this unique symposium hosted by October Gallery Education. Taking Palestinian artist Laila Shawa’s Disposable Bodies No.3 as a trigger, the symposium offers a layering of narratives to create a collective portrait of women today. How conflicted will these multiple perspectives be? Do we really need a Women’s History Month anyway?

Explore the politics of motherhood, conflict, careers and disability with lively discussion and debate. There will also be a film screening by a local young women’s group, in response to being a young woman in London, and a live performance by dub duo The YuYa.
