LOGAN Entertainment Centre gets the WOW (Women of the World) factor this Friday and Saturday with a two-day festival.
The festival provides a stage for women’s voices to be heard through a series of bold, entertaining and conversation-provoking events with engaging messages and ideas about equality, diversity and positive change to help break down the barriers which women continue to face.
Inspirational speakers will fuel conversations covering a range of matters of importance to women in Logan, including finance, jobs, business, family and religion.
Human Rights Advocate and Lawyer Nyadol Nyuon and Queensland’s Attorney-General Shannon Fentiman, will be among a long list of distinguished guests to speak at the festival.
The event kicks off Friday night with a high-energy cabaret event ‘Apocalipstick’ from Queensland performance artists Polytoxic, and will close with a concert of Ailan Songs Project.
WOW Marketplace features artists, businesses, and women’s organisations from across Logan as well as information booths.
There are a number of free creative workshops, including an opportunity to create your own protest posters and badges, and an array of cultural performances at lunchtime.
The WOW Healing Space draws on traditions, healing and ceremony practised by women across cultures and centuries providing the opportunity to ask questions and get some care and attention.
You can experience a range of workshops and demonstrations from First Nations practitioners.
From yoga to learning about bush medicines and experience traditional Maori healing techniques, this women’s only space is the perfect spot to breathe out for a moment.
