Punkurica 2.0 was an artivist action that took place on several levels. It consisted of a summer school for DJanes, a feminist self-defense workshop and a peer-to-peer feminist counseling meeting. The festival focused exclusively on female*, trans*, non-binary*, genderqueer* and agender* people. The Radical Queer Affinity Collective organized it in Budapest in July. We serve a short reportage about this event.

A full report on Punkurica 2.0 will be featured in the series SPACEfemFM - Women's Radio on September 5, 2016 on Radio FRO.

On Saturday, September 24, 2016, the "Traveling Traders" will be taking to the water again. This year we will be navigating around the concept of "boundless knowledge" with the St. Nikolaus on Lake Traunsee. Discussing together at themed tables, we move around the ship, inspired by the "World Cafe" and "Blackmarket for Useful Knowledge" methods. Ursula Kolar, co-director of FIFTITU%, tells us more about the main idea and key data.

Registrations by September 14 to fiftitu@servus.at

A unique Internet portal on the history of the women's movement is being created in German-speaking countries. Germany is providing a total of 6.8 million euros for the development of the "German Digital Women's Archive DDF". It will include the holdings of existing women's archives and documentation centers from German-speaking countries. "With the focus on women as contemporary witnesses and pioneers, for example for women's suffrage, German history appears in a completely different light," said the German Minister for Women's Affairs Manuela Schwesig (SPD). The Digital Women's Archive will be accessible from 2018 at www.frauenarchiv.de.
