The first Ladyfest was organized in August 2000 in Olympia, Washington. In the mean time the initiative of some women, whose origins were in the riot grrrl movement, spread out all over Europe and North America. Every year dozens of Ladyfests are celebrated in the different cities. Most of them are organized nonhierarchically and without a central organisation commetee. They are developed out of the local structure and this is why every Ladyfest is different. Ladyfest is more than a music festival for women including shows and performances. Workshops ,where the participants discuss aspects of e.g. gender, queer, sexism, transgender, are essential.

Is it drag if you dress up?
Video about a workshop by Sissy Boyz at Ladyfest Vienna 2005: Drag is more than wearing a fake beard as a femal or to lay on some makeup as a male. Genderfuck? For us it means there is no original gender but we believe there are patriachal relations that shape the body. |

| Ladyfest is a feminist platform with the aim to break and undermine a dual gendersystem, following the principle of selfempowerment and explicitly including queer, unconventional and transgender ladyz. Ladyfest wants to destabilize the heterosexual norm and step over (gender-) borders. |

| Dyke March was introduced as an alternative form of activism by lesbians who were dissatisfied with the mostly commerzialized and often unpolitical Pride Parades. During Ladyfest Vienna 2005 "lesbians, dykes, bi-women, boychicks, grrrls, lesbian moms, lesbianas femmes, butches, transwoman, androgs, queer woman, sororitygirls with pearls who are sleeping together,..." celebrated themselves in the streets. |

Berlin, 7.8.2005 - ladyfest!
"when the term >>girl<< was more and more adopted by the fashion and music industries, the grrrls acquired the tougher and more mature >>lady<< to create a new subversive term.
so they formed a more fitting and sovereign identity to show that feminism can be cool, refractory, sexy and nasty at the same time."
