about us
The Knowledge Workshop (KW) is an ongoing workshop for (re)searching and gathering women’s stories, for creating and sharing feminist resources through engaging women and their struggles within their communities in Lebanon.
We at the KW, have merged all our past experiences in collective grassroots organizing and working within more institutionalized forms of activism, in activist writing and in scholarly research, and our experiences working in different artistic and media projects, in order to create this feminist workshop.
