Dear All

Women of the World Festival 2012

VV are delighted to announce we will be at WOW 2012 festival at the Southbank alongside Storm in a Tea Cup London and the East London Fawcett Group. Come and find us in the marketplace where we will be (wo)manning an information stall.  So come and meet us face to face, talk about our aims for VV 2012 and discuss ways you can get involved (for more information about WOW click on the image below)

The Great East London Art audit: 

What is the ratio of male to female artists on display in our London galleries and exhibitions? Join the East London Fawcett Group campaign to discover the truth behind the representation of female artists in 2012. VV will be volunteering to take part in the first count in East London taking place on 1st March 2012 (first Thursdays). The results will be printed in the weekend broadsheets.

Email: zoesalexander@yahoo.com for more information and to register as a volunteer.

OH and finally…we’ve had many emails telling us that our widget for the VV membership form is malfunctioning. We will endeavour to get this fixed over the weekend, but in the meantime you can download the form here: New VV_Membership_form

VV are delighted to announce that we will be on Resonance FM in the morrow.

Tune in  to Martina Mullaney‘s show at 6.30 pm, Wednesday 2nd November to hear our discussions on all things Arts, ladies and East London.

Topics include:

Recent feminist activity around the east end.

Future feminist activity and the East London Fawcett Group march on the 19th November 2011.

The emergence in the last couple of years of women’s collectives/groups (including VV) and why now?

How to form a central network-is this a new movement or just the next wave?

And what it is like to be a woman working in a male dominated industry.
