Sunday March 5th 2006: International Women's Day
International Women¹s Day Fair
Sunday March 5th 2006
International Women¹s Day, observed in Australia since 1928, will be
celebrated in Melbourne with a Fair on Sunday March 5th, 2006, from 12
5pm.
The International Women¹s Day Fair will take place at CERES, Lee St.,
Brunswick. The Fair will showcase a diverse range of women¹s talents, with
musical acts, speakers, an art exhibition, moving image media and stalls all
planned for the big day. A range of special activities have been scheduled
for children. There will be food stalls and a licensed bar.
Headline acts include Ria Soemardjo, Pikelet, La Voce della Luna, 3 Cat
Pileup, Brunswick Women¹s Choir, and Sam Burke and the Wifeys; speakers
include Marg D¹Arcy and Jane Ashton; Trick Star Circus will entertain; Chaos
Fairies will perform for the children - more acts to be confirmed. An
Exhibition of women¹s Art, Workshops and moving Image Media with short
Flicks and Video clips will keep you entertained.
Stalls will provide information about a wide range of services and sell a
variety of handcrafts, clothes, jewellery, and other services.
International Women¹s Day dates back to 1910 internationally, and 1928 in
Australia, when a rally was held to campaign for better working conditions
for women. International Women¹s Day is a time for celebrating women's
lives, while also recognising that discrimination against women on the basis
of their gender is still widespread throughout the world.
The International Women¹s Day Fair provides an opportunity to express our
freedom, flexibility, diversity and fresh attitudes. In this spirit, we
present an event for women to simply enjoy being women, and for everyone to
celebrate women¹s achievements and affirm women¹s political, economic and
social rights.
"With this fair, we simultaneously recognise the struggle ahead of us and
offer women a warm, fun space to step back and enjoy their achievements,"
says Ada Conroy, a founding member of the International Women¹s Day
Collective.
CERES is at 8 Lee Street, East Brunswick, gold coin donations welcome at the
gate.
