Cartogrophy of the Body is today’s 🔖

Join us next Friday 29th May from 2PM for this month's meeting of the AC Zine Club!

"In these many ways African liberation movements brought alive feminist questions of how we define oppression and how willing we are to embrace depatriarchalisation along with the widely held commitment to decolonisation. It is disappointing how consistently revolutionary movements stumble in refusing to meet the fuller transformation offered by women's renegade brilliance. Yet despite these disrespectful elisions women continue to rise up on principle, summoning the courage to risk for better worlds."

We will meet to make one-page zines honouring the "excellent wayward women" in our lives inspired by the many courageous women mentioned in Chapter 2 of Jessica Horn's book African Feminist Praxis.

See you next week!
