Femmepire

Mission Statement
Our first and foremost goal is to foster a community of femme-identified Hampshire students and support them in their endeavors. Femme identity may be marginalized, misrepresented, and misunderstood, but it is powerful and important; we are powerful and important. The purpose of reinstating this group (which is not new, but has not been active since 2011) is to provide a space for femmes at Hampshire. We exist, we deserve to exist, and we require a space to talk about that existence. Our meetings will take the form of weekly workshops that provide the opportunity for community building and bonding. Topics up for discussion include femme identity, deconstructing dichotomies, femme history, the context of queerness, makeup as a tool of revolution, femininity as decolonization, and femme friendship as a method of survival. We intend to open specific workshops up to the community, such as skillshares, dialogues, and DIY-lipstick making!
