A warm welcome to the last NPBIAC gathering on Thursday June 17th, 7.00 – 9.00 pm. We want to invite you all to meet one last time, in this setting, for a very informal evaluation. We want to see you all again and make room for comments and thoughts. Maybe read out loud from the book. Smile silently to each other. Scream in rounds, beginning and end. Eat and talk. Cheer one another. Write down our secrets and send it off into the future. If there is a room there is a crowd, a will and a way. Hope to see you there!
This last meeting is open to all, but we ask that you RSVP as usual to nobodyputsbabyinacorner2009@live.com
Join us for another unforgettable evening!
Best,
NPBIAC/Johanna and Malin

A feminist party in the parliament – a good idea?
A warm welcome to the next NPBIAC gathering on Monday May 24th, 7-9 pm. We are proud to have former spokesperson for Swedish Feminist Initiative - Devrim Mavi as host for this meeting.

It was the start of a new feminist experiment in Sweden, marked by activism, organizing and tumultuous politics. Devrim Mavi, former spokesperson for Feminist Initiative, will speak about how the party started, about the specific challenges for feminist politics in a parliamentary structure and the massive negative response that Feminist Initiative faced.
You are invited to a discussion about the possibilities and impossibilities with parliamentary feminism, and about the demonization of feminists.
This occasion is open to 20 participants and you need to RSVP to nobodyputsbabyinacorner2009@live.com to be able to join, please do so before May 24th at noon.

Next meeting Wednesday, April 28th, 2010, 8-10 pm - The YES! Association
A warm welcome to the next NPBIAC gathering on Wednesday April 28th, 8.00 – 10.00 pm. We are proud to have the YES! Association, represented by Åsa Elzén and Hong-An Truong, as hosts for this meeting.
The YES! Association is a group of artists based in Sweden and the U.S. who work towards creating a more equal, diverse and interesting art world. The basis for their work is the on-going formulation of an Equal Opportunities Agreement that demands structural changes in art institutions. This agreement exists in numerous forms and has been addressed through performances, fiction and live negotiations. During this session, Åsa Elzén and Hong-An Truong will lead us through a series of activities to get at questions around the utility, effectiveness, and problematics of categories. Should we speak the categories that we already know are at work to define us? In what ways do categories reduce and essentialize productive difference? How is naming both a powerful political act and at the same time an act that can re-produce categories that have also historically been confining? Is equality – through categorical statistics and quota provisions – a goal?
For more info please see: www.foreningenja.org
This occasion is open to 20 participants and you need to RSVP to nobodyputsbabyinacorner2009@live.com to be able to join, please do so before April 27th at noon.
Join us for another unforgettable evening!
(And please note the time of the meeting 8.00 – 10.00 pm)
