DISMANTLING PATRIARCHY: AN EVENING OF CONVERSATION, ART, AND RESISTANCE
Guardian Live in partnership with One Billion Rising
Monday, March 1, 2027 | London + Livestream
What would a world beyond patriarchy look like? And what will it take to get there?
Ahead of International Women’s Day, One Billion Rising is partnering with Guardian Live for an evening that brings together activists and artists to question power, celebrate resistance, and discuss what comes next.
Guardian columnist Arwa Mahdawi, author of The Week in Patriarchy, will chair a discussion with V (formerly Eve Ensler), playwright and founder of V-Day and One Billion Rising, One Billion Rising Global Director Monique Wilson, and One Billion Rising South Africa Coordinator and activist Lucinda Evans. Together they will ask what patriarchy actually means, who upholds it, how it shapes our lives, and what we can learn from the people organizing to challenge it around the world.
After the interval, poet and community organizer aja monet and V will be among the contributors to a program of poetry, dance, readings, and film, including a special reading from musician Anoushka Shankar. More speakers and artists will be announced.
The evening will also raise funds for V-Day’s work to end violence against all women, gender-expansive people, girls, and the Earth.
