Ladyfest Ottawa 2006 -- September 29, 30, and October 1st! xoxo
Description
Now in our fifth year, Ladyfest Ottawa 2006 remains a volunteer-driven organisation that both showcases women's artistic expression and shares ideas through music, performance, film and video, exhibitions, panels and workshops.
Ladyfest Ottawa is part of a tradition of grassroots-organised festivals showcasing the talents of women artists. The first Ladyfest took place in Olympia, WA in 2000. This event inspired women around the world, from New York City to Berlin to Indonesia, to organise their own festivals. Other Canadian Ladyfests have taken place in Toronto, Guelph and Halifax.
Ladyfest Ottawa is an inclusive, feminist organisation. We feel that providing a venue for women artists counters the obstacles and discrimination that women often face, including sexism, homophobia and racism. We also try to address these issues in our workshops, along with encouraging a D.I.Y. (do-it-yourself), hands-on approach to skill sharing. We believe that political action can be fun and creative!
