Deadline: 25-May-23

The Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung is pleased to announce the applications for Global Feminist Pitch: Feminism in Pictures to support feminists from Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia, Africa, Middle East and (South) Eastern Europe.

This year they are looking for six feminists who will tell stories of feminists, feminist moments, and movements from their region in the form of short graphic novels.

The Global Feminist Pitch strives to make solidarities between feminists and feminist movements worldwide visible through different formats. In 2023, the Global Feminist Pitch will give six feminists from Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, Middle East or (South) Eastern Europe the chance to tell stories of significant feminists, feminist moments, and movements from their region in the form of short graphic novels (8-10 pages). In this process, they will be supported by the Global Unit for Feminism and Gender Democracy through a workshop and consultations. The finished short graphic novels will be published together as a publication at the end of 2023. This publication will contribute to the global debate on feminism and feminist movements, complement the existing discourse, and provide feminists, activists, and organisations with insights on how feminism is lived in different regions of the world.
