Talk Town Podcast

Feminist Leadership is gaining ground in women’s rights organisations, NGO’s and global movements that work for transformative change. This episode of the Talk Town podcast has invited Joanna Maycock, feminist and independent consultant, to unpack the concept of feminist leadership, what it looks like, how it can be practiced, its purposes and potentials for organisations that work for social transformation. Joanna Maycock [https://www.linkedin.com/in/joanna-maycock-87949b9/?originalSubdomain=be]’s consultancy practice is working to support Civil Society leadership to bring feminist principles into systems change and working with leaders to build working cultures aligned to their values. Her focus is on the feminist understanding of power and moving from coercive to transformative power. Joanna Maycock has over 25 years’ experience in leadership positions in European and international Civil Society in Brussels, such as with ActionAid and president of CONCORD. Most recently, she was Secretary General of the European Women’s Lobby.

Decolonizing Aid: What is the place of global feminist solidarity?  There has, in the past few years, been calls for a radical shift in how international aid and development cooperation are configured. Donors in the global North and the infrastructure surrounding them have been accused of upholding white supremacy and saviorism, mirroring past colonial relationships with decision-making power concentrated in the Global North. The panel will explore how feminist networks globally can work together to decolonize aid, while prioritizing collective care and reclaiming global sisterhood, intersectional organizing and feminist agenda setting. Catherine Wanjiru Nyambura is an international development expert and Pan African feminist.  She has ten years' experience in advancing feminism, gender equality, youth development, and sexual and reproductive health and rights. Catherine is currently affiliated with the ATHENA Network where she is the Director of Programs focusing on feminist activism and movement building. Emma Holten  is a feminist activist and gender policy consultant. In 2014 she created the project CONSENT about her own experience with digital sexual violence. Since then, she has worked on an array of subjects. Among them power in the workplace and feminism in art and literature. Since 2019 her primary focus has been feminist economics.

Basisgruppen er Talk Towns helt egen podcast, hvor vi tager den  feministiske dagsorden ind i et intimt lytterum.  I denne 8. Marts specialudgave af basisgruppen skal det handle om et emne, der længe har skabt konflikt og splittelse i den feministiske bevægelse. Det skal nemlig handle om sexarbejde; vi skal se på sexarbejdernes historie og organisering i Danmark, og den udvikling området har været igennem siden slutningen af 90’erne. Vi skal se på lovgivningen og den politiske håndtering af området. Og så skal vi tale om feminismens forhold til sexarbejde, og hvordan det påvirker eller overser de mennesker, det egentlig handler om.   Til at sætte os mere ind i det, har vi fået besøg af tre kloge mennesker, nemlig Apinya Jatuparisakul fra The Red Van, Jelena Seidel fra Sexarbejdernes interesseorganisation og Theresa Dyrvig fra Vive.  Maia Kahlke Lorentzen er vært. Musik er lavet af Jakob Andersen.

Basisgruppen special edition sender fra Talk Town 2021 på Union i København. Vi bringer en panelsamtale om ligestilling og kønskvoter i billedkunsten, som er støttet af Statens Kunstfond. For hvordan går det egentlig med ligestilling i billedkunsten?  Det debatterer Hannah Toticki Anbert, Rosa Marie Frang, Emilie Boe Bierlich og Toke Lykkeberg sammen med kunstkritiker Maria Kjær Themsen. Panelet tager udgangspunkt i tal - og mørketal - over salg af kunst, udstillinger og fondsapperatet i Danmark og løsningsmodeller for at komme videre fra en kunstverden, der er domineret af mænd. Kan indføring af kønskvoter fx skabe ligestilling mellem køn - og er det den bedste løsning?  Lyt eller genlyt her.

Basisgruppen er tilbage og vi varmer op til årets Talk Town festival, som sker lige om lidt: Den 20.- 22. Maj i Kulturhuset Union i København i Nuuk og digitalt. I dette afsnit  tager vi de helt store briller på og udlægger corona-pandemiens bivirkninger i et globalt perspektiv ift. fattigdom, gæld, migration og sexarbejde. Til det har vi inviteret nogle kyndige gæster fra årets festivalprogram ind:  Seniorforsker ved DIIS og dokumentarist, Sine Plambech, antropolog og Postdoc. ved DIIS, Marie Kolling og forkvinde for The Red Van, Aphinya Jatuparisakul. Vi varmer også op til Talk Town 2021 og dykker ned i årets festivalprogram med flere end 90 aktører.
