A jam-packed night of poetry, performance, visuals and frank discussions with some of the UK's most exciting young female voices around.

Throughout history, cultures and continents, women’s bodies have been policed.

In this digital age of social media and online profiles, to be in the public sphere as a woman is to be subjected to even more unwarranted commentary, critique and abuse.
