Feminism is not restricted to the hearts and minds of women, but also in art, music, books and performances. Thus, to mark the relentless march of feminism to horizons, Godrej India Culture Lab is hosting a two-day conclave, starting Saturday, February 16.

The event will celebrate the multiplicity of feminisms in India, and see presence of well-known people, striving to achieve social equality. It will also pay tribute to the diverse, and sometimes, contesting, but always political and subversive feminisms that live and thrive among us. Saniya Shaikh, catalyst from the Godrej India Culture Lab team, shares, "It's important to celebrate feminism because we owe so much to our feminist forbearers who have paved the way for it to become something that everyone wants to lay claim to. There has been so much labour, knowledge and love that has gone into making us a people who resist hegemonies that patriarchy enforces on us."
