Food for Thought Network to hold first global International Women’s Day event

·

On Saturday, March 1, mark International Women’s Day with the Food for Thought Network by participating in an inspiring online event led by Stella Boyages, a distinguished Human Rights Lawyer and Board Member of the Hellenic Lyceum of Sydney.

This free event will take place online via Zoom at 2.00 PM (Sydney/Melbourne Time). Bookings are essential here to receive the Zoom link.

In her powerful presentation, Stella will take the audience on a journey to uncover the hidden voices of women in history and mythology, exploring how their contributions have often been overshadowed by male-centric narratives.

Stella will address the stereotypical roles that have been imposed on women, examining figures like Penelope and Clytemnestra, and delve into the stories of exceptional women such as Hypatia and Sappho, who were punished for their intellect and creativity.

She will also explore early representations of women as earth mothers and fertility goddesses, underscoring their significant roles in matrilineal societies, and call for a rewriting of history to reclaim and celebrate the invaluable contributions of women throughout time.

Following the presentation, a panel of insightful speakers will provide their responses.

The panel will be moderated by Helen Karagiozakis, a professional with a background in both law and engineering, and a leader in the public sector with a rich understanding of cultural heritage.

Joining the discussion is Andriana Simos, dedicated journalist and Digital Editor at The Greek Herald, Australia’s largest daily newspaper for the Greek and Cypriot communities.

VASSY, an award-winning multi-platinum artist and songwriter based in Los Angeles, will also join, offering her unique perspective on the role of women in creative industries.

Additionally, Stav Lampropoulou, a Greek Australian photographer and visual artist, will bring her insights, focusing on themes of identity, place, heritage, and feminism in her work.

The Food For Thought Network’s free event will take place online on Saturday, March 1, via Zoom at 2pm (Sydney/Melbourne Time). Though the event is free, but bookings are essential to receive the Zoom link. You can reserve your spot through TryBooking.
