SUMMARY:The Female Body in Protest @ Festival for Choice
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Female Body in Protest @ Festival for Choice\n3.00 – 4.30pm Saturday 16th November 2013 \nBack Room\, Abbey Hotel\, Middle Abbey St (two doors down from Twisted Pepper) \nIn 2013\, we have seen women on the streets and represented in the media in protest against a wide range of social\, political and economic issues such as austerity economics\, water flouridation\, sexual assault case judgement\, compensation for Magdalene survivors\, abortion rights and more. ‘The Female Body in Protest‘ presents insights from published scholar and activist Theresa O’Keefe and performance artist Amanda Coogan on methods of protest\, challenge\, representation and reflection.   Drawing from feminist practices and engaged research\, the concerns of both practitioners intersect the fields of arts\, academia and action/performance exploring themes related to gender\, representation\, power and social issues. \n  \nFollowing presentations by the speakers\, attendees – which will include activists across campaigns\, are invited to reflect on the female body as a contested site and explore feminist gestures of challenge\, resistance and dissent that may inform the practice of protest in Ireland. \n  \nFacilitated by artist Siobhán Clancy\, an activist member of Abortion Rights Campaign. \n  \nMore info about Festival for Choice here\n \n  \nAbout the Speakers: \nTheresa O’Keefe’s research concerns gender and social movements\, feminist protest\, gender\, conflict and state violence\, and feminist praxis. She holds a PhD in Political Studies from Queen’s University and currently lecturers in the Department of Sociology\, NUIM where she co-founded the MA in Community Education\, Equality and Social Activism. Prior to joining Maynooth she was a lecturer at the Equality Studies Centre\, UCD. Her book ‘Feminist Identity Development and Activism in Revolutionary Movements’ was published in 2013. \n  \nAmanda Coogan is one of the most exciting contemporary Visual Artists practicing from Dublin\, Ireland.  The centrality of Coogan’s practice is durational live performance where powerful live events are fundamental to her videos and photographs. Her expertise lies in her ability to condense an idea to its very essence and communicate it through her body. Coogan’s recent practice has been concentrating on the longitudinal durational performance presented as living installation in the gallery.  Coogan is currently pursuing a practice-based PhD at University of Ulster.  See www.amandacoogan.com

SUMMARY:Choice and Allies @ Festival for Choice
DESCRIPTION:Choice and Allies @ Festival for Choice\n4.30-6pm Saturday 16th November 2013 \nBack Room\, Abbey Hotel\, Middle Abbey St (two doors down from Twisted Pepper) \n  \nThis session is for men (both cis and trans) and non-binary individuals who call ourselves feminists or feminist allies.   As a participant in this workshop\, you are are invited to look at positions\, politics and the practicalities involved in advocating abortion access from your perspective.  The workshop will cover terminology and what pro-choice means for you\, the value of feminist allies in addressing social issues and how safe space policies and non-judgemental approaches can be put into practice in social arenas.  We will also look at some media from popular culture and discuss how the concept of reproductive ‘choice’ impacts on other areas related to civil and LGBTQ rights\, gender equality\, resistance to austerity as well as the everyday etc. \n  \nThe intention of this session is to provide a relaxed space to share your experience with one another and potentially contribute to the support of others.  It’s also about debunking the misnomer that ‘bro-choice’ is about getting women! \n  \nThis session will be co-facilitated by allies of Abortion Rights Campaign from various groups. \n  \nMore info about Festival for Choice here
