Hello,
My name’s Marie, I’m not long moved to London from Glasgow, to start a new campaigning job. In days gone by in Glasgow I did lots of feministy artsy stuff (starting with Frock On fests http://www.thefword.org.uk/features/2003/09/get_your_frock_on_an_insight_into_organising_a_womens_community_event) and DIY films (http://www.burnoutfilms.com/), putting on shows, and some zine things and stuff, and I’d really like to meet some women and people in London into the same kinds of things, and maybe get involved/help out with organising and things. Let me know if there’s anything I can do?
all the best,
Marie

Hi,
We are an all-lady curatorial collective holding an exhibition at the Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club in November. Although not strictly feminist, much of our work engages with gender issues in art. We would love for you to come to the opening at the following link: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=248277068558559
