Sheroes DJ Workshop

Our events are art projects that aims to rethink and deconstruct our visual culture from a gender perspective. Our main objective is to open arts and culture to a wider audience and reflect upon social matters affecting women and others, such as:Body representation and the effects of the hyper-sexualization of women's and girls' bodies in our current visual cultureBeauty standards and their impact on our relationships with othersSex education and relationshipsGender stereotypes and role modelsInvisible violence against women in media and its effects on contemporary societiesWomen artists and their hidden herstories, and how these relate to our presentOur mission is to raise awareness and contribute to reducing violence against women, young people, and girls by reflecting on social matters that affect us all, using art and visual literacy as the main tool. At the same time we aim to celebrate and bring to the fore inspiring hidden herstories that have the power to uplift and empower us all.Through our events we want to contribute to building healthier relationships in communities based on respect, equity, acceptance, and consent.
