Snapping the Stiletto: Campaigning for Equality

All are invited to an evening of three-minute mini-talks, short soap-box shout-outs that put a spotlight on women and diversity.

The event will bring together people who want to champion and celebrate women and diversity in the arts and in our communities, share the work they do with others, and collectively celebrate strong diverse voices.
