idle women

Idle Women is an arts, environment and social justice collaboration

Our projects reach for something beyond the horizon, creating transformative spaces for women that can't be cut, closed or taken away.

Idle Women is a collaboration with women from any and all walks of life. We work to our strengths because we know that transformation is a daily process, there are always other ways and beauty is complicated.

Gift Economy

Idle Women offer activities without charge but with principles of gift economy. Our free activities are offered with respect for the responsibility that comes with gifting. We ask women to show up, show kindness to other women, to contribute as much as they take and at some point perhaps to exchange or offer their knowledge and time to other women through Idle Women or elsewhere.
