Spaces for Women

Join us at Fore Street Living Room Library to celebrate women in Upper Edmonton and to discuss women's safety in public spaces. The event is open to everyone and we wish to create a safe and constructive space for people to come together and listen to one another.

There will be art, spoken word poetry performances and a workshop, free food, live music, short film screenings, and a panel discussion. See full list of activities and times below.
