Harpies, Fechters and Quines: Women and Words

HFQ2015_profileWe are really excited to be putting on the Harpies Fechters and Quines Festival in partnership with Edinburgh City libraries and the Bonnie Fechters women’s group.

This festival of talks, exhibitions and workshops takes place in Edinburgh throughout June and the theme this year is Women and Words – from poetry and performance, blogging and key works by iconic feminist writers to blogs, diaries, and journals. You can join in and create your own words or come along and hear from and read about other women of the past and present.

The festival launches on Monday 15th June and then continues until Sunday 28th June. You can join us for a Zine Workshop, Feminism 101, Flash Fiction, Exhibitions, and so much more. Check out our National Calendar for full details on all events.

We are also looking for women to take part in an All Women Poetry Slam, so if you’re interested and want to book a spot in the limelight or would like more information, get in touch and you could also come along to Anita Govan’s performance poetry workshop to get some practice.
