Do you sometimes feel that society isn’t quite what it could be? Are you fed up with being silent? Would you most of all just like to smash the patriarchy and get on with it?

Then the Feminist Curse Night is for you. The Feminist Curse Night is a successful concept created by the Finnish feminist think tank Feministinen ajatushautomo Hattu. We offer you an evening of a warm and welcoming atmosphere of fellow feminists, the quick-witted host Maria Pettersson, the hilarious feminist stand-up comedian Jamie MacDonald, a DJ providing you with confident vibes, and an open mic waiting for your voice. Own the stage with your personal experience, a story you heard, general anger towards the patriarchy, a poem, song, or anything else you feel you need to get out. Or come along and cheer those taking the stage, while noticing you are not alone with your thoughts. Let the power of feminism warm you up, the stage is yours!

The Feminist Curse Night is a collaboration between the Finnish Cultural Institute and Beursshouwburg.

For a New European Social Contract

House of European History, Brussels, Belgium

The new EUNIC Brussels conference cycle questioning the future of Europe. The ambition of the project is to rethink the social contract, so that it no longer relies on the relationship between citizens and the state but goes beyond this by taking into account the different dimensions of life today and the crucial issues citizens are facing.

TelepART: Sisus

24-25 August 2018

Lieve Vrouwekerkhof, Amersfoort, the Netherlands

As part of a Europe-wide tour, Finnish circus group Sisus lands in the Netherlands at the Spoffin festival in Amersfoort 24-25 August. During the tour, Sisus performs Mosh Split piece, a 45-minute outdoor show, which is built around a 9.5 meter-high truss structure. This energetic show contains a huge variety of circus skills both in the air and on the ground: trapeze, moshing, rope dancing, partner acrobatics, group spirit, humour and girl power. In the scenery, there is a camper van from which surprising characters and crazy ideas come out following one another. Dresses are made out of toilet paper and hairstyles get their finishing touches with vacuum cleaners.
