2019 Lobby Activism: FEMINIST EMERGENCY! How can feminism rupture walls?

In addition to the NAEA Women’s Caucus sessions, meetings, and events during the formal protocol of the NAEA, the Lobby Activism event serves as an informal space for acknowledging the ‘personal is political.’

Held at the NAEA Convention in the hotel lobby, since 2008, the one-hour open forum has evolved into a multi-modal form of engagement, including introductions, performance, art making, brainstorming and synthesizing ideas–as well as planning collaboratively for future action.

A human microphone process amplifies the Lobby Activism participants’ political voices as public feminist art pedagogy.

The Feminist Emergency Kit, an artwork with messages about emergencies and what we believe are the walls causing or preventing solutions to the emergencies we face today, which we will make at the 2019 NAEA Women’s Caucus Lobby Activism event, will be delivered to U.S. Congress Massachusetts Representative Ayanna Pressley.
