Jessica Horn

Jessica Horn is a feminist practitioner with an inclination towards digging deeper, inspiring activist alchemy and asking ‘where next’? Her work is situated politically in Pan-African feminism and practically in interventions to affirm women’s right to live pleasurable embodied lives-free from violence, to resource activism, and build the scaffolding for feminist futures.
She bridges domains of critical thought and practice: research + imagination, power brokers + ‘the community’, creators + deciders, past, present + future.

We need new collective imaginaries. And as we conjure them we need to hold our own words in our hands, to turn feminist visions into freedoms that are felt in everyday life. She is here to build. We are here to rise.
