Hey Girl
Five days of feminist talks at The Wheeler Centre.
Overview
It's not hard to understand why The Wheeler Centre named their upcoming feminist lecture series Hey Girl. It's a phrase that's layered with fluid meaning, from street harassment and solidarity to glowing approval and murky gender identity. These topics and more are under the microscope at Hey Girl, a lecture series running from October 10-14 at the CBD literary hub.
The collection of talks explores the common threads of womanhood, like sexuality, race, sisterhood, empathy and fighting the feminist fight. Plus, the series will also make space for stories less commonly heard from the LGBTIQ community. See below for a full lineup of talks and kickass panellists.
