As anarchist activist Emma Goldman (1865-1940) said: If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution. Conceptualised in Nairobi, Kenya by multidisciplinary arts collective The Nest, Strictly Silk is a party for and by women and non-binary people. And on March 7th, the first international edition of Strictly Silk will take place on at Radio Radio in Amsterdam to kick off the Mama Cash Feminist Festival! We took the opportunity to speak to two of its founding members, Njeri Gitungo and Dr. Akati Khasiani, about the relationship between the arts and activism, how and why Strictly Silk got its start, and why women and queer folk reclaiming the dance floor is a feminist act.

After making more than fifteen episodes we want to reflect on what we've learned and how we want to move forward. Especially now, we'd love to hear what you liked about Tea with Mama Cash, what could be better, and topics you'd like to see covered. Get in touch via tea@mamacash.org!
