THE QUESTION: HOW TO BE AN ALLY

ALLY

Noun – one that is associated with another as a helper : a person or group that provides assistance and support

“To be a true ally, she had to speak up.”

– one that is associated with another as a helper : a person or group that provides assistance and support “To be a true ally, she had to speak up.” Verb – to side with or support (someone or something).

“He allied himself with the forces of change.”

Her Forest is a touchpoint for a conversation happening around the world – how to support each other. Through creativity, through leadership, by being an inspiration to others – how can allies lift Her Forest up? How can men lift women up? How can women lift each other up? How can we all be better allies? Equality is to the benefit of us all – as especially demonstrated by the majority female leadership behind Electric Forest. Granting a voice, especially a creative voice, to marginalized groups is a revolutionary act.

At this year’s Her Forest panel, artists from the lineup and creators from the festival will come together to craft a conversation in support of the alternative, nurturing energy that we would all like to see more of in the world.
