******************************************
The Red Dawns collective invites you to join us at, our, and yours, 24th International Feminist and Queer Festival!
We cannot and will not miss the celebration and glorification of the holiday of all women*! March 8th is our holiday, and it’s right that all feminists, queer women and queer-feminists take our place and present our artistic, intellectual, creative and other somehow undervalued, unexposed or invisible, but important work. It is a time to celebrate our successes and failures, a time to reflect, a time to act and to fight, a time to laugh and cry, a time to take time for ourselves and the community, and a time for hard-earned rest.
We tirelessly remain here, for twenty-four years, indomitable and unyielding!
