Feminist Events by Siyobin is a Guelph-based event planning organization that is dedicated to dismantling the patriarchy through an intersectional feminist approach. Siyobin aims to create more inclusive spaces while supporting and celebrating marginalized creatives, organizations and business owners. About Siyobin
Siyobin Blanco is a well-respected and award-winning multidisciplinary dancer, act
ivist, community organizer and Reiki Master. She dances primarily with Invoketress Dance in Guelph, ON. She is a q***r person of colour with an invisible disability. She uses all of her avenues of creativity as a platform for social justice, representation of intersectionality and healing. About the Feminist Market
As a q***r, disabled maker of colour who had frequented many vendor markets, she had noticed a distinct lack of diversity and focus on support of the artisans at these events. This was very disappointing to her, so she decided to run the first Feminist Holiday Market in 2017 and create a community-centred space. In 2019, Siyobin Blanco was awarded the Queerator of Arts & Culture Award, from the Guelph Pride Committee, for her feminist markets and live performance shows.
