Cinema Feminista

ME(dia)

In this new programme Glasgow Women’s Library invite women to find out about how to put the ME in Media.  Join us to discover how books, film, music, magazines and other media can influence us and how we can bite back!  In this programme we will use media to express ourselves and connect with others and explore media from a positive perspective, boosting our self esteem and confidence.

Cinema Feminista
