SHE GRRROWLS

Feminist arts night that features poetry, comedy, music and everything in between, every month at Catford Mews.

She Grrrowls is a feminist arts night that features poetry, comedy, music and everything in between. The event grew from a Feminist group after Carmina Masoliver, the creator, left university – where she was a founding member of UEA’s Feminist Discussion Group and Society. Back in London, Carmina missed the group and wanted to take an active role in positive change. As a poet, writer and performer, this seemed the obvious way forward. Thus, She Grrrowls was born.

She Grrrowls believes that the definition of being a woman is decided by the individual. We are inclusive of transgender women, as well as those who are genderqueer, non-binary etc. She Grrrowls believes in a Feminism that is intersectional and strives to be open to all women, of any race, class, sexuality etc. She Grrrowls does not (always) exclude men but invites them to celebrate those who are showcased and participate in the open mic’ in a way that is respectful to the space.

The event focuses on poetry and spoken word and that’s what tends to appear in the open mic’ section. As there is not necessarily one view of Feminism, there may be instances where people disagree with what’s being said. However, we expect audience members not to participate in sexism, homophobia, transphobia, racism, ableism, classism etc. Basically, no “kicking down” on historically oppressed groups of people. We also ask you to avoid cultural appropriation, and try to engage with what this could mean if you are unfamiliar with it. If any audience member ever feels unhappy, uncomfortable, or upset by anything, please feel free to speak to Carmina about this.
