From 11.06.2026 to 11.06.2026
The conference aims to inform the public and raise awareness, to foster a meaningful exchange of views and reflections on the tragic reality of gender-based violence and femicide in Greece and around the world, and to highlight ways and means of prevention.
Structured around academic presentations, artistic workshops, a round table, the testimony of a relative of a femicide victim, and a staged reading of Cinglée by Belgian playwright, director and activist Céline Delbecq, who will be attending the event, the conference seeks to raise urgent questions about femicide, past and present. It will focus on the factors that can contribute to prevention and eradication, while also showing how this grim reality often becomes a form of denunciatory creativity in literature and the arts.
