FEMS is a community that celebrates and empowers feminine people and voices through poetry. Over four years, they have shared vulnerabilities, faced fears, and spoken truth to power. Those from FMC who have attended FEMS have learned from and been inspired by them.
This year will include workshops on climate justice, self massage, and Black femme love among others where folks will write and explore topics in community. Outside of writing workshops there will be open mics, poetry, and music performances. There will be activities virtually as well as in the Meetinghouse and Friends Center.
This is an all-ages space and folks are required to take a COVID test within 24 hours of the festival There will be rapid tests available. Masks will be required indoors and eating and drinking will be welcome outside of FMC’s buildings.
This event is being co-sponsored by the Friends for Racial Justice (FORJ) Committee
Thank you!
