Join us to celebrate the launch of two books exploring institutional change through feminist strategies of complaint, listening, and sector transformation. Sarah Durcan will speak on WTF HAPPENED: #WakingTheFeminists and the Movement that Changed Irish Theatre, followed by Sara Ahmed on No is Not a Lonely Utterance: The Art and Activism of Complaining. Ahmed will examine the anatomy of a complaint, drawing on diverse testimonies to show how complaint can foster collective action and better working environments.

A panel discussion with Durcan, Ahmed, and Catríona Crowe will follow, addressing the role of complaint, avoiding activist burnout, and sustaining meaningful change.

Chaired by Emma Dabiri.

Complaining For Good is part of the 2025 Dublin Theatre Festival.
