During Boulevard, we design the protest signs that we will march with next year, guided by a visual artist. Monday the 7th of August we meet in the Feminist School on Boulevard. Join!

Genre Verdieping

Theaterfestival Boulevard and MINOUX want to redesign International Woman’s Day Den Bosch. Minou Bosua is led by the question: what does the 8th of March mean for Bosschenaren nowadays? Who are the Amazones of Den Bosch? Boulevard embraces feminism within its organisation, programming and the various ways this subject is present throughout the city. The last two years at the 8th of March, people came together to answer the question: what do we celebrate? What is worth fighting for? A broad range of themes were discussed. We concluded the 8th of March 2023 with a wish to organise a march on International Woman’s  Day 2024.

What could this march look like? Which cries should be on the signs? Who are we going to march with? And where? Through this workshop we find out what kind of march we should walk on the 8th of March 2024.

This project is part of the European programme apap – FEMINIST FUTURES, in the frame of Feminist Futures Festival. A project co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
