Femioke

Overview

First things first: if you're going to combine karaoke with feminism and need a name for the resulting event, you can't get any better than Femioke. If there was ever a term bound to inspire the proud and passionate singing of many a pro-girl anthem, it's this one.

Expect to do plenty of that at Femioke, whether the likes of the Spice Girls, Aretha Franklin, TLC, Cyndi Lauper or Beyonce gets your vocal talents flowing. As emceed by Metro Arts’ Amy-Clare, the event isn't only interested in belting out favourite feminist tracks, however — it's also about taking back misogynist songs.

Think of it as a DIY-style sing-along, an all-inclusive feminist event and a safe space to celebrate International Women's Day — complete with a cash bar because every great karaoke session needs a tasty tipple. The event also acts as an after party for the We Need to Care forum, presented by artist-run initiative and feminist collective LEVEL.
