An Arab Woman’s Thoughts on Trump

Thank you @dispatchfmi for having us last night. It was a pleasure introducing Wadjda for your #WomeninFilm2018 series at @GenesisCinema. Here’s to more feminist film directed by Arab women!✊🏽

We've reached our initial goal of £1000! Thank you to everyone who has donated to our campaign and helped us spread the word. We are completely overwhelmed and overjoyed by your generosity and support, and even more motivated than ever to produce a festival that reflects the talent and creativity of Arab women worldwide. In order to deliver the most artistically ambitious festival that we can, we will need much more than £1000. With your encouragement, we have decided to increase our crowdfunding goal to £5000. The campaign will continue to run until one month before the festival's opening night (March 8th 2019) - so please do keep sharing and donating over the coming months. This is your festival, so we want to share our plans with you. Below, we've included a breakdown of our official budget, so you know where your money is going. We have also submitted funding applications to various organisations who have shown an interest in supporting us. Our budget will: - Pay over 10 artists and speakers to present their work at our festival - Pay 8 freelancers to help us run the festival (Festival Coordinator, Photographer, Marketing, Graphic Designer, Volunteer Coordinator, British Sign Language Interpreters, and Technical support) - Cover travel and accommodation costs for all our artists and speakers - Allow our volunteers to claim travel and sustenance expenses - Pay for a venue that is well located, suited to our work, and entirely wheelchair accessible - Cover workshop material costs - Allow us to print and distribute our promotional material We aim to: - Hire Arab women/non-binary where possible - Support local businesses in all our endeavours - Make environmentally friendly decisions whenever possible - Keep our festival as accessible as possible to as many people as possible - Offer free tickets to refugees, asylum seekers and unemployed audiences - Pay all of our freelancers, speakers and artists according to suggested union rates If you, or someone you know, is interested in donating, you can do so through the link in our bio!

We’re running a festival of Arab womxn’s art, and we need your help! We’ve started a crowdfunder, which has just hit over 50% of our goal in less than 48 hours! Thank you to everyone who has shared, donated and sent us words of encouragement so far - we’re overwhelmed by the love and support we’ve been receiving. Let’s keep the momentum up! The link to our crowdfunder is in our bio! ✨

We’re starting a feminist festival of Arab women's art! You can support us by donating towards our campaign or sharing it with your friends. The link is in our bio! ✨✊🏽♥️
