Dating as a Feminist(sold-out!)

Dating as a feminist 8 november

Ever thought you met a really nice guy only to have him call you a bitch later when he disagreed with you? Or a self-proclaimed feminist who uses faux-feminism to woe you? Or perhaps you identify as non-binary and feel frustrated about the binary way of thinking in dating life, perhaps you’ve come across racist dating profiles and feel exhausted. Or maybe you are asexual or aromantic, and you are constantly confronted with society’s strict dating status quo. Whatever it may we felt an opportunity to share and discuss the experiences and difficulties with fellow feminists was more than welcome. The 8 of november we will start with performances by several artists, who will in different styles give their take on dating as a feminist. Afterwards there is time to talk with each other.

Performers:
Pelumi Adejumo, Nigerian born but Brabant based, is an art student who integrates her heritage and social justice of all kinds into her work. She tries to stay as close to herself as possible to be able to stay warm and close to others. Her art forms are theatre, poetry & vocals.

Andrea Schell:
Andrea Schell is a storyteller from Los Angeles, in Amsterdam for the year getting her Master of Science in Sociology with a focus on Gender, Sexuality, and Society. She has written three solo shows dealing with different aspects of being a woman including body image, beauty, sex, creativity, and self-expression. She has been on many storytelling stages in Los Angeles and has additionally performed in New York, Washington DC, and Bali. She also has a background working in the entertainment industry. You can learn more about her at www.andreaschell.com.

Resources:
Usually we have a list of mandatory sources to read but as this night is more about individual experiences we have instead compiled a list of sources that can give new perspectives and useful tips for people who date, dated or want to date(or are interested, everyone is welcome). Feel free to share resources that were helpful to you on the event page. We ask everyone to read at least two.
