Table Talks is a talk and dine supperclub series featuring 4 ladies discussing their work and presenting one topic of discussion for each course. The events are open to all genders and won't necessarily discuss female issues but mostly general topics of current interest. We just want to put forward some amazing ladies to lead these talks!

This event's theme is more of a question: What is feminism? The Oxford dictionary's definition is "the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes." But simply searching on Google you can find multiple types of feminism: liberal feminism, radical feminism, eco-feminism, Marxist and socialist feminism and cultural feminism, but also black feminism and intersectional feminism. How has this evolved since the term first emerged in the late 1800s? Also note that Charles Fourier, a utopian socialist and French philosopher, is credited for establishing the term "féminisme" in 1837. Furthermore, we talk about 4 waves of feminism: the first starting with the suffragettes in the early 20th century promoting the right to vote for women, the second began in the 1960s in favour of social and legal equality for women, the third was focused on individuality and diversity in the 1990s and finally the fourth wave started around 2012 with social media being a core element for raising awareness about sexual harassment and violence against women, also known as the "Me Too" movement. But how do we each individually define feminism? What does it mean to you? Let's meet 4 lovely ladies who will each share their point of view and how it relates to their work or passion.

We are partnering with a funky space: Make Town in Hackney (a few mins walk from Hackney Central Overground). This lovely space is a textiles & craft studio and most importantly "a central hive of buzzing creativity, focused on inspiring and guiding you through your personal journey of making."
