Bodies and Borders: Ecologies of Consent investigates the intersection of bodies, ecology, and agency through the lens of permeability and protection, and explores how consent is navigated within biological, political, and ecological systems.

UPCOMING EVENTS
In person! WEAD-ing with Planting Oceana
Saturday, April 18, 2:00 to 5:00 pm PT
Oakland, California
Women Eco Artists Dialog and Planting Oceania are partnering to rejuvenate The Pie Lot, a pie-shaped piece of vacant land in West Oakland.
Join us to celebrate this partnership!
We will begin with a blessing to thank and honor the Indigenous land we’re partnering on and the Lisjan, the Indigenous Stewards of the land. We will then “meet the weeds,” get acquainted and learn about the plants that are already thriving on the lot. We’ll also weed; share food; and Talanoa – Talk Story, to learn and connect with each other.
Art+ Activism #22: Feminist Art Activism and Artivism with Katy Deepwell
Sunday, April 26, 10:30 am to Noon PT
on Zoom
Katy Deepwell lives in London, is a feminist art critic, and is the founder of KT Press and editor-in-chief of n.paradoxa: international feminist art journal. Katy will explore key ideas in feminist art activisms around ecofeminisms, based on her publications to date. She will contrast political definitions of activisms with approaches to artivisms, where art practices take priority over protest. This distinction matters in thinking about different feminist strategies which artists use and how their diverse approaches to art-making convey political dissent, speak about issues or determine their approach to exhibiting.
Stay tuned for details about our upcoming 30th birthday party for WEAD.
