This weekend, VOW Media goes to Bonn! We will attend the Queer*Fem Fest, screen and discuss ”A Day in Her Life” video collections. In 2010 and 2012, we worked with women and transwomen who were involved or had been involved in the sex industry in Amsterdam. We’re looking forward to showing and discussing their work.
If you’re in Bonn this Saturday, drop by at 17:00 at Cult 41, on Hochstadenring 41, 53119, in the meeting room.
\’A Day in Her Life\’ screening and discussion at Queer*Fem Fest

On this International Women’s Day 2013 we are happy to invite you to the screening of our 8th project, Breaking The Spell.
In 2012, VOW Media worked with young girls - who have been victimized by, or are at the risk of falling victim to “loverboys”, as well as girls who have gone through severe traumatic experiences, such as repeated emotional, physical and/or sexual abuse – in a series of workshops where they learned how to utilize different forms of media to create their very own self-portrait with photography, radio, and video. The girls directed, shot, and edited the work themselves, reflecting on their experiences in the past, and expressing feelings and hopes for their futures.
The photography they created is included in an exhibition and in a Breaking the Spell calendar. Their radio show Slam Asja FM, with revelatory interviews about the question - “What they think the difference is, if there is any, between them and girls their age not living in the shelter?” – is available online.
Date: Friday, March 8, 2013
Location: Rialto, Ceintuurbaan 338 – Amsterdam
Doors open: 12.30h
Screening starts: 13h
Caring and compassion — LOVE — is the foundation of all non-profit work.
It is our instinct, as humans, to love others and it is this love that leads us to take action — to do something to make the world a better place for individuals, society and the world at large.
