FIRSTBORN GIRL #11

We step into the new decade of existence of our FIRSTBORN GIRL, with the words of Audrey Lorde: “The future of our earth may depend upon the ability of all women to identify and develop new definitions of power and new patterns of relating across difference.”

The program of the eleventh FIRSTBORN GIRL celebrates intersectional feminism to encourage us to come up together with possible definitions of the new, more just world because “The old definitions have not served us, nor the earth that supports us.*”

United in diversity, rejecting old structures of oppression, we offer alternatives for a new coexistence.

if we win 

there is no telling 

we seek beyond history 

for a new and more possible meeting.
