Women's Art Festival 3rd-5th August 2017

[Super Yonic]

Super Yonic is an Art Festival that celebrates femininity and strength. The festival brings together the brightest contemporary creative talent for three glorious days from 3rd - 5th August in the heart of Peckham, at Copeland Park & Bussey Building?s Copeland Gallery, 133 Rye Lane, Peckham, SE15 3SN.

Super Yonic will take over the space, hosting over 20 multidisciplinary artists for a weekend of visual art, films, live performance and artist-led workshops. The festival celebrates feminism and reinforces the importance of representing more women in the arts.

Super Yonic is a not-for-profit festival, mostly supported by crowdfunding on Generosity.com. A percentage of any proceeds will go to Bloody Good Period; a charity that provides female sanitary products for asylum seekers, refugees, food banks and centres around the UK for those who can't afford them.
