MAMA CASH FEMINIST FESTIVAL

International Women's Day is when we celebrate all that feminist movements around the world have fought for and achieved. We look forward as well, collectively imagining what a more feminist future would look like. And what is a better way to envision and create that future than through arts and culture? That is why each year on International Women’s Day, Mama Cash organises the Mama Cash Feminist Festival. We mark this day by creating a stage for feminist artists and activists a platform, because as bell hooks say, "The function of art is to do more than tell it like it is - it's to imagine what is possible."

We would like to invite you to celebrate the Mama Cash Feminist Festival at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam together with us on 8 March 2019. From 18:30 we take over the museum with an evening program full of performances, artist talks, and inspiring workshops.
