Shameless! Festival

We are thrilled to share a Call for Proposals for public engagement activities for our upcoming Shameless! Festival of Activism Against Sexual Violence, co-produced with The WOW Foundation and taking place in London (at an arts and cultural venue TBA) on Saturday 27 November 2021.

Shameless! festivals are exciting cross-arts events combining academic research, activism and art to confront sexual violence. The project, which will run for three years starting in 2021, will take place in the UK and Brazil. These festivals will bring together diverse communities of survivors and the expertise of researchers, medical, psychiatric and legal professionals, artists and activists in a transformative programme of talks, performances, workshops, ‘how to’ clinics, and wellness spaces.

If you’re an academic working on sexual violence from a medical or psychiatric perspective and you have a proposal for a collaboration with artists, activists, survivors, practitioners, or others, we’d love to hear from you!

Please see the attached CFP for details and submit an abstract (up to 300 words) and a short biography  to Professor Joanna Bourke at j.bourke@bbk.ac.uk  and Dr Rhea Sookdeosingh at r.sookdeosingh@bbk.ac.uk by Friday 16 July 2021 at 17.00 BST.
