Are You Still Nasty?”
Nasty Women North East* are ecstatic to announce that we will be hosting the first ever international Nasty Women Conference at Thought Foundation, Clarity House, Durham Road DH3 2BT Birtley, Gateshead UK on Thursday November the 16th and Friday November the 17th 2017!!
We are so happy that we will be be joined by Nasty Women from around the world including one of the co-founders of the Nasty Women movement, New York based artist Roxanne Jackson.
It has been an astonishing year for Nasty Women- the movement has raised over £500,000 through around 70 events involving 3,000+ artists.
The conference will be an opportunity for people who are already involved in the movement and people who are interested in being involved to get together- celebrate our huge successes, share our less successful moments (and what we’ve learned from them!) and plan for an exciting, creative and useful future.
Dates : Nov Thurs 16th, 2017, 9.30am-4pm and Fri 17th, 9.30am-12.30pm
Venue : Thought Foundation, Clarity House, Durham Road DH3 2BT, Birtley, Gateshead UK
Telephone : 0191 4906700

Like to know a little more?
"Nasty Women” is a global art and activism movement started in New York in 2016 as a protest against the election of Donald Trump, 45th president of the USA.
The movement is open to everyone- no need to be a women, an artist, an activist or even particularly nasty!
The conference may particularly appeal to you if you study, or have an interest in, politics/ art/ sociology/ gender studies/ history / activism
To find out more about the global movement please follow this link
Still not convinced?!
We have 5 great reason to come along:
1. Nasty Women- has been called "the new Guerrilla Girls" and is fast becoming an extremely important global force in activism and art- this is an amazing opportunity to be involved in a movement as a pivotal moment in its’ development
2. This is an opportunity to meet, hear talks by, network with and experience work by artists, activists, researchers, curators and gallerists from around the world- including Roxanne Jackson (USA)& Airco Caravan (Netherlands)
3. Coming to the conference is a great way to get involved in a local Nasty Women group and really make a difference in the lives of local people who are suffering discrimination and inequality
4. You will get a LOT for your £12- all of the above plus (lots!) of beautiful food on both days
In comparison: The NAEA National Convention (largest gathering of visual arts educators in the world) costs up to £200 per ticket and “The Brooklyn Conference 2017: Inspiring Social Change” (art and social activism conference) sells tickets for between £50-£120
5. You will be welcomed, inspired, challenged and entertained by some of the most exciting art activists working in the world today
We are currently fundraising and organising. If you would like to be added to our mailing list or offer any help please contact us: [email protected].
