The event will feature a short talk on the history of ARC-GS by former director, Julie McBrien, a poetry reading by Danson Kahyana, Associate Professor of Literature at Makerere University,  and the presentation of two surprise interventions by feminists honouring the center with their work on the occasion of its anniversary (look carefully here for a hint). The organizing committee - Professors Mohira Suyarkulova (American University of Central Asia, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan), zethu Matebeni (Decolonial Futures Scholar in Residence, UvA) and Rachel Spronk (UvA) – will be on hand to accept the gifts. There will be ample time to experience the interventions, discuss them with the feminists who created them,  and celebrate the center with drinks. All are welcome and encouraged to come celebrate!
