The ecofeminist festival "Those Who Sow" at Cité Audacieuse!

La Cité Audacieuse, Paris’s first “third place” entirely devoted to advancing women’s rights and building an egalitarian society, invites you to the second edition of its ecofeminist festival “Those Who Sow.”

The Fondation des Femmes is hosting the second edition of its ecofeminist festival « Those Who Sow », from 21 to 29 September 2026, at the Cité Audacieuse, a feminist third space located at 9 Rue de Vaugirard in Paris’ 6th arrondissement. For nine days, conferences, round tables, workshops, screenings and performances will fill this unique venue as they explore the core issues of ecofeminism. Free admission, open to all.

This year's subtitle is as follows, “Will women save the world?”

This question does not call for a triumphalist answer (even if one could argue otherwise), but for a collective, urgent inquiry alongside field associations, specialized organizations, and committed figures.

After a debut that drew over 600 attendees, “Celles qui sèment” has established itself as a must-attend gathering at the crossroads of feminist and environmental activism.

This year, the meetings will center on four major themes:

Legacies and Imaginaries : Where does ecofeminism come from, and where is it heading? Between foundational texts, activist circles, and alternative imaginaries, the aim is to trace a living genealogy and to open up viable utopias;
Nourish, Nurture, Inhabit : Agriculture, care, and motherhood—spaces that patriarchal capitalism has systematically devalued. The festival restores them to full prominence as alternative economic models;
Means of Ecofeminist Action : Civil disobedience, collective mobilization, non-violent resistance: how can the anger of women become a political power? ;
Act Here and Now : Women-only bike repair workshop, ecofeminist mural, engaged stand-up.

Committed figures, authors, researchers, activists, and farmers will lead these topics at roundtables and workshops open to everyone. The weekend of September 26–27 will be especially devoted to practical workshops, documentary screenings, and family-friendly activities.

The full program can be found on the Cité Audacieuse website. Be sure to register for the various sessions you’d like to attend.
