The 2nd Edition of the ECOFeminism Festival is in the making and we are delighted to invite UK-based multimedia Artists & International Artists to submit to our upcoming Group Art Exhibition 'Branches'.

The Exhibition Branches is a celebration of the different approaches under the umbrella of contemporary Ecofeminism, advocating for an alternative worldview that values the Earth as sacred, recognizes humanity's dependency on the natural world, and embraces all life as valuable.

We invite Artists to explore the connections between women and nature inspired by any of these Ecofeminism branches, through culture, economy, religion, politics, race, class, ethnicity, sexuality, literature, and iconography, emphasizing that both women and nature must be respected.

ECOFeminism BRANCHES

Modern Science and Liberal Ecofeminism - Exploring the dominance of patriarchal structures through binary opposition, behold through religious and scientific constructs. These include but are not limited to heaven/earth, mind/body, male/female, human/animal, spirit/matter, culture/nature and white/non-white.

Spiritual/Cultural Ecofeminism - Inspired by earth-based spirituality, ancient traditions, such as the worship of Gaia, the Goddess of nature and spirituality (also known as Mother Earth), recognising that the Earth is alive and that we are an interconnected community. Not linked to any specific religion, but centred around values of caring, compassion and non-violence. 

Social/Materialist Ecofeminism - Inspired by the connection among labour, power, and property as the source of domination over women and nature. 

Vegetarian Ecofeminism - Exploring the protection of animal rights that suggests a link between meat-eating as a form of patriarchal domination.

Ecofeminism is open to people of all genders, races, colours, classes, religions and ages and all forms of biotic life. All beings are welcome at the table, and all are held as equals.

Join us in our quest to Support equality between ALL people, animals, and Nature! 

The multimedia Group Exhibition will take place 18-22 October 2023, The Art Pavilion, London.
