WEIBERFASTNACHT CREATIVES’ PARTY 👯‍♀️🎨🥳

Hello Sketchers and Creatives!

This time we meet to have an open creative session while we eat and party at a traditional German Lokal. Let’s have fun and express our creativity wearing a Carnival costume🤩🎨📸

How to:
Bring a small sketchbook and/or a camera to take cool photos and bring Gute Laune!

I’ll be wearing a Cosplay theme, something relaxed, but feel free to come wearing whatever you like. Once, a participant took a large garbage bag and dressed up as trash bag 😂

We creatives start new traditions and with this meeting, we continue with a row of events that celebrate women. So, Weiberfastnacht will soon be followed by an event celebrating Women’s International Day with an emphasis on Women Artists 👩‍🎨 👩‍🎨 🧑‍🎨

Please Note:
CHECK YOUR DIRECT MESSAGES INBOX here in Meetup, important details and the confirmed venue of this event will be shared there. Be on time, it’s gonna get full later on. If you cannot make it, change your RSVP LONG b4 the event, 2 x no show and das war’s. Besides beverages, each participant must consume at least something from the Wirtshaus, so don’t forget your Portmonee. Otherwise, this event is FREE!

Art regards,
Liz

About Weiberfastnacht in Germany (called Comadres in Spanish and it’s fat celebration too):
“…nuns spent Karneval's days dancing, drinking, and carrying on and then spent their nights playing cards (presumably while the Abbess was sleeping it off). Women relished being able to take part in the revelry! Well, all except for the Washerwomen. These women worked 16-hour days washing clothes...”
“In 1824, a group of washerwomen in Beuel finally decided they had had enough of this nonsense. They formed their own Karneval committee, the Beuel Ladies Committee, and stormed the Town Hall… Word spread through surrounding communities, and other women who were sick of scrubbing shirts while others were enjoying a good party decided to dump the wash bucket and join in the fun with some Town Hall storming of their own!”
