CSET FEST: Motherhood and activism
As mothers, what drives us towards activism? How can the personal life events and traumas that women experience around childbirth be translated into active social participation? How can solidarity between women solve these traumas, how can women's circles help? Where is the place of motherhood in feminism?
Schedule
These are the questions that the EMMA Association and its Spanish partner El Parto es Nuestro have been trying to answer in the framework of an ERASMUS programme. Our two main activities:
- qualitative research among members and representatives of social groups and NGOs around birth in Hungary
- We have produced a methodological handbook on the current issues of most concern to women activists.
We would like to initiate a dialogue with the participants at the workshop.
Interlocutors:
Anna Balogi, project leader, sociologist, EMMA Association
Eszter Kállay, communication assistant, poet, visual artist, EMMA Association
Rita Kishonty-Kardos, methodological programme manager, mental health specialist, EMMA Association
Julianna Kupcsok, research programme manager, sociologist, EMMA Association
Jurányi House
The Jurányi Production Community Incubator House has become a key venue in the capital's cultural life, a vibrant hub of the contemporary art scene.
Our aim in creating the Jurányi was to find a stable, shared home for the independent theatre and creative arts sector, providing the infrastructure necessary for its day-to-day operations. We wanted to create a cultural centre in the Buda area, a "contemporary art house" where theatre-loving young people could spend a few hours over a coffee or even a theatre performance, a creative children's activity or an acrobatic movement class, thus re-filling the abandoned educational institution with an active community life.
Jurányi is more than just a theatre in Buda, it is a creative and creative base where visitors can enjoy a varied artistic, community, and educational program, in addition to a regular repertoire of 300 productions a year. We are proud that the Jurányi House is now a graduation subject in some art schools.
