TINA

Hey all,

Well, back from TINA and Newcastle. Being back at work is sooo depressing.

TINA was great as usual. My panel for the Student and Emerging Media Festival went well, though was more a heated discussion on feminism than on grrl media. I think that was alright, though, as there were several different perspectives being bandied around and we all need to understand how varied feminism is and clarify our own attitudes. Thanks to Rachel Hills, Anna Greer and Wendy Bacon for offering their views.

Aside from panels put on by NSEMF and the Young Writers Festival, I also partook in some Electrofringe exhibitions, house shared with the lovely Vibewire crew had a swim at the beach and sold a bunch of mags at the zine fair. A highlight was the new!shop. Rather than try to describe the awesomeness that is this particular installation/performance exhibition, I’d urge you to go have a browse if it comes to a town near you.

All in all an excellent weekend!

You should go…
