October 20, 2025

We are pleased to confirm that reconference 2025 will be held as scheduled in Kathmandu, from December 8 to 10. CREA has taken this decision carefully, after conducting a site visit, speaking with local partners, and checking with government authorities as well as foreign missions. Travel advisories, such as this one issued by the Netherlands’ Ministry of Foreign Affairs, have also significantly lowered the previous risk assessment.

Nepal has been a warmly welcoming space for many of our conferences and we believe that this ambitious event too will take place smoothly, safely and rewardingly. We look forward to seeing you there!

expo

reconference is back!

the global feminist expo

Over three days, reconference will nudge you to:

  • reThink ideas of justice, equality and inclusion, our relationship with technology, and how we live and imagine a future for this planet;
  • reWork how we use language, our human connections, and our forms of resistance;
  • reClaim physical and digital spaces, narratives and histories, and joy and pleasure

Watch a glimpse of CREA’s last reconference in 2019, where over 750 artists, activists and allies came together to engage with different forms of creative expression, deep scholarship and critical thinking.

Join us at reconference 2025

  • We are designing reconference to be a space that challenges what we believe, pushes us to imagine a different future, and gives us a moment to collectively find our way out of a thicket of anger and hopelessness.
