FAT CHANCE! An Interactive Workshop on Fat Activism





This weekend at Ladyfest!
Sunday November 29th
2:30-3:30

Join Chelsey Lichtawoman (formerly of The Fat Femme Mafia) on a short cityscape that will focus on fat bodies and (taking up) space. We will learn about what Fat Activism is, and the easiest ways to take part in it. The workshop will take place in stores and along Bloor St. near Bay (starting in American Apparel and making our way to H & M), and will also examine where fat people can shop, how spaces are constructed to be inaccessible, and who is invited to be a part of retail culture and why. Meet at the Tranzac 15 min before workshop time.

Please contact Chelsey beforehand with mobility concerns/other questions at chelsey.lichtman@gmail.com
Limited to 15 people.

PLEASE FORWARD WIIIIDDDDEEELLLLYYYY

About:
Ladyfest Toronto is an annual non-profit interdisciplinary festival organized by a grassroots, open, do-it-yourself collective of feminists each dedicated to having fun with feminism and putting good politics into practice through art. Each year the Ladyfest Toronto collective organizes a festival of art, music, performance, poetry, and politics meant to celebrate community and the projects and accomplishments of Toronto feminists. By offering a space to showcase some of the many Toronto artists dedicated to making their work pro-feminist, political, resistant, and inclusive, Ladyfest hopes to work as a hub of feminists activity that connects existing communities and generates new ones. In addition to practicing a non-hierarchical method of organizing the festival, our collective operates from a sex and body positive, non-exclusive, anti-oppressive, pro-feminist, politically charged framework and embraces all feminist peoples. We are absolutely dedicated to making the entire festival accessible, inclusive, and safe in every way. We hope that by making spaces for community members, artists, and musicians to share and perform we can open up places from which Toronto’s various pro-feminist political voices can be heard, where new communities can be made, and existing ones can work in coalition on shared projects and toward common social and political goals. Ladyfest is not just an annual festival; we hope that it is the kind of event that can generate new projects, possibilities, and communities and above all proliferate politics without pretentiousness. Ladyfest Toronto operates according to several key values; these include accessibility, DIY-ing, positivity, exposure, connection, and inclusion.

Sticker Making Tutorial

People were asking how I made the stickers so I thought I'd make a tutorial.


1. Gather Supplies:
- Naked Lady Drawing (don't worry, if I can do it, so can you)
- Scissors
- Large Label / Sticker paper
- Black pen
- Blue Tack
- Clear Packing Tape
- Adult Classifieds (sex ads from the Now Magazine)
- Glitter (optional)

2. Cut out your Naked Ladies, in two parts if you can, it makes it easier to distinguish the figures

3. Trace them on the Adult Classifieds (I recommend using the blue tak to keep them from moving around)
4. Fill in some of those extra features with your black pen, arms, flesh folds, legs, then cut them out

5. Tape your Ladies to some sticker paper, you could even add glitter on them before putting the tape down, to make it extra exciting. I added the web address to mine, to spread the pussy pirate word.


6. Cut them out, now go stick them somewhere awesome, spread the large-lady-love!
