On October 25, 2025, the Women’s Matinée took place at the Ankersaal of Brotfabrik — a unique cultural format rooted in 1960s Istanbul. Inspired by daytime events by and for women as an alternative to the male-dominated Gazino culture, the Vienna edition revives this tradition in a contemporary form.

The matinée brings together poetry, dance, performance, music, martial arts, and activism — creating a safe space where women and queer artists can make their voices heard and their artworks visible; a celebration of diversity and solidarity.

The event took place after two workshops on zine-making and feminist embroidery, as well as two performance nights. Additionally, it featured an exhibition of a collective zine publication and outputs from the workshops.

Venue: In collaboration with Kulturhaus Brotfabrik // Absberggasse 27, 1100 Wien, Austria
