Radical Feminist Ethics - A discussion with Sheila Jeffreys, Lauren Levey & Jo Brew live streamed from the WDI Fringe at Cardiff to an international audience globally.   Our concern is not with how we can be nicer to each other for its own sake (though it would be good if we were). Our concern is that we want to win the political fight for women's liberation.

This week’s speakers:

Borbála Juhász - Hungary - Hungary: anti gender ideology raised to state level: Phase II. - Since my last appearance on WDI FQT Hungary witnessed the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war and we had a general elections in the spring of 2022 where populist leader Viktor Orbán won again with a 2/3rd majority. His overwhelming success -while the country is called a non-democratic state by the European Parliament-is due to several reasons, one being its family policy and its strong, conservative ideological stand. In my presentation I will tell the second part of the "Orbán story".

Bio: I am a feminist historian, right now working at a state elementary school in Budapest, Hungary. I worked at the Hungarian Women's Lobby for 14 years both as a volunteer, as a leader and as an employee. I was the vice-president of the European Women's Lobby for 2 years. I also work as a freelance gender policy expert (in its original sense). My main interest in women's rights are: the fight against prostitution, women's history, women education and women in decision making. I live in Budapest with my daughter.

Christina Ellingsen - Norway - Update from Norway

Claudia - UK - Censorship in the visual arts and how that has enabled the attack on feminist artists - I will give a brief introduction to my practice as an artist, focusing on my feminist practice. I'll set out the problems I have encountered when showing the work, including experiences of censorship since 2010 and 'de-platforming,' since 2019. I will analyse how the increasingly censorious environment in the visual arts has led to and enabled the attempted silencing and 'de-platforming' of feminist artists - from the least experienced students to most experienced practitioners.

Bio: Claudia Clare has worked full time as an artist-potter since 1988. She is known for making big pots that record women's histories and support campaigns against men's violence towards women and girls, especially in the sex trade. She is the author of 'Subversive Ceramics,' Bloomsbury 2016.
