Meaning “Women of the World” in Bissau-Guinean creole, Midjeres di Mundo is a fundraiser event featuring an art installation curated by an all-femme and non-binary panel of artists based in and around Leeds, followed by an open debate conducted by Leeds University’s Black Feminist Society.
On Sunday 22nd May, join us at East Street Arts for a creative, community-based safe space for Black femme and non-binary people, and come enjoy Black art from up-and-coming artists up north - expect very special announcements, film screenings, and cheeky drinks on a hot Sunday afternoon!
Tickets start from *pay as you feel* for Black women, femme, non-binary and trans people, £3 Black cis queer people, £5 Black cis straight people, and £8 non-Black allies - grab yours today and help us put together Portugal's first Black Pride event.
*cash and PayPal donations on the day of the event*
[SAFER SPACES POLICY]
A gentle reminder of our safer spaces policy written in August 2021
1) We have a ZERO tolerance policy for any kind of prejudice, harassment and intimidation in our events as well as within the community we are trying to build - this means: no sexism, racism, ableism, ageism, homophobia, transphobia, misgendering and any other sort of prejudice based on religious affiliation.
2) Our collective was created to prioritise the Black and queer communities, enabling an intersectional environment often overlooked by the wider public, therefore, please be aware of your privileges before entering our space - do not make any assumptions about people’s identity or pronouns!
3) Keep in mind that not everyone might be down to interact with everyone as people’s comfortability vary, so please do not force yourself into other individuals’ spaces as consent must come from both sides.
If you do not agree with any of the aforementioned policies DO NOT come as this clearly is not a space for you!
