International Women’s Day Festival is a time for debate, education, and celebration. We’re creating shared digital spaces for you, the audience, along with academics, community organisers, activists and artists to explore universal feminist topics.

Women continue to face pay disparity, multiple barriers to career progression and are under-represented in the arts across the UK. So what can we do?

Led by Esther Andare, Golden Thread Gallery’s New Needs Intern, we will hear from women who have led successful campaigns or projects with regards to revealing the imbalance, holding organisations to account, and importantly, building programmes of work that make real, positive change.

Together, we will look at some of the most prescient barriers and understand where gender imbalance is felt most acutely. The session aims to arm you with the tools, knowledge, and network to take action, speak truth to power, and expertise for building a better, more representative, arts sector. 

Pay what you can afford
