LoveKills collective is trying to organize the third edition of the festival. It is our strong desire to continue this festival, as we consider it to be very important for our struggle to make a difference especially in the romanian context, to live up to our anarcha-feminist ideas in a fundamentalist/ orthodox/ patriarchal society and even in a completely ignorant+sexist "scene". We are welcoming every individual/ collective involved/ interested in anarcha-feminism to take part in our festival, to support and help us. The festival will be taking place in Timisoara (West of Romania) during the last week-end of september 26th-27th. Anyone who is interested in presenting a workshop/lecture/documentary/exhibition, in performing or playing or anything else please contact us.

LoveKills collective is engaged in different street actions and public events with the aim of raising awareness for women’s emancipation struggle and for an achievement of absolute individual freedom of all. Our actions and events are referring to distributing info leaflets, putting up posters, showing documentaries, organizing discussions and debates, workshops and lectures on anarcha-feminist issues.

LoveKills festival is an anarcha-feminist festival organized each year. The aim is challenging for discussions and debates concerning the double oppression that women are facing each day due to the customs, traditions and prejudices of patriarchal society which develops feelings of inferiority through its authoritarian relationships, feelings of fear and terror because of the constant threat of sexual harassment, assault, abuse; feelings of culpability because of the aggressive religious dogma; feelings of being exploited through exhausting hours of work in society and at home; fatphobia and other body image issues because of the beauty standards violently imposed each day, and many other aspects met according to evolution of society, to relationships between men and women, between family and women, according to the extent of development or stagnation of capitalist-patriarchal oppression.
