Thursday March 24 / 7.00 to 9.00pm
Join Magic Me at Poplar Union, where you will have the opportunity to meet an amazing and inspirational group of women. They will be showcasing Generation Rebellion; the power of intergenerational activism, part of a series of events for International Women’s Day. The event will involve a film screening, exhibition and workshop created by the older and younger women from East London, as part of Generation Rebellion: a project exploring the climate crisis and what we can do to get our voices heard.
Last Autumn, young women from Mulberry School for Girls joined forces with older women from East London to explore what it’s like to be an intergenerational team of female activists. They shared perspectives and created artwork that redefines how generations can learn from and support each other to tackle the climate crisis, globally and locally. Their journey was captured by Colloquial Collective Films, documenting creative workshops led by artist Sue Mayo and climate activist Maz Koshika. In November, Magic Me hosted a film screening and workshop via live video link at COP26, the United Nations Climate Change Conference. You can watch the event and read their blog on the importance of intergenerational activism.
