Past event

Feminist Review 17 civer

Courtesy Feminist Review

Join the Feminist Duration Reading Group (FDRG) for a talk by Joan Anim-Addo and a reading from her article ‘Activist-mothers maybe, sisters surely? Black British feminism, absence and transformation’, published in Feminist Review in 2014.

Also woven into the session are short texts from the 1984 Feminist Review issue ‘Many Voices One Chant,’ which highlight Black feminist perspectives from the past 30 years.

This session of the FDRG aims to explore diverse, intertextual and intergenerational perspectives on reading, writing, publishing, collective practice and allyship.

Led by Ehryn Torrell, and organised in dialogue with FDRG participants Beth Bramisch and Katrin Lock, the evening aims to embody feminist practice. The event welcomes and encourages many voices, invites deep listening and offers time and space for group discussion.
