Hey, Sis. Presents: The Science of Sisterhood

What if sisterhood was more than a feeling—what if it could change your life?
Sisterhood isn’t a soft extra—it’s a science and a survival strategy. For women of the Global Majority, community isn’t just comforting; it’s revolutionary.

And we’re unpacking it all through conversation, creation, and shared space.

Experience an evening of connection, creativity, and collective truth-telling with Hey, Sis. as we explore how women and femmes use care, sisterhood, and joy as tools for surviving, connecting and thriving.

This event is free, booking is essential.

Sounds of Sisterhood

Ground Floor, 6.30pm – 9.15pm
The soundtrack to sisterhood in motion by @Imanaaliyah_

Zine-Making: An Archive of Us

Café, 6.30pm – 8.45pm

Sisterhood lives in the stories we carry and the ones we create.

At this table, you’re invited to cut, paste, write, and piece together your own mini publication, a zine that reflects what sisterhood means to you!

Collage, poetry, scraps of memory, bold declarations, anything your hands and heart want to share.

This is a space to create and contribute to a living archive of care, creativity, and connection ran by @zinetopia.fio.

Share Your Sisterhood

Groundfloor, 6:30pm – 8:45pm
What does sisterhood mean to you? What does it make possible?

In this open, creative corner, you’re invited to share your memories,moments, and magic

Add your voice to a growing wall of collective reflection through prompts, drawings, scribbles, and love notes left behind for another sister to find.

This is your space to honour what sisterhood feels like, looks like, and lives like.

In Conversation With: The Sisterhood

Theatre
7.15pm – 8.15pm

“We’re calling out to all the sisters we’ve known, and the ones we’ve yet to meet - It’s time to talk!”

This isn't just another panel or lecture. This is your space.

Join us for an unfiltered, interactive conversation where we break down our trailblazing research into the Science of Sisterhood-a real, raw, and revelatory exploration into how we build, nurture, and sustain the bonds that keep us surviving, connecting and thriving.

Through dynamic discussion, unexpected insights, and real-time audience interaction, we'll unpack:

• How to build sisterhoods rooted in authenticity, cultural power, and shared purpose

• How to nurture those relationships in a world built to keep us divided

• How to sustain them through joy, accountability, and advocacy

This isn't theory; it's lived experience backed by data, emotion, and collective knowing.

Bring your voice. Bring your sisters. Bring your whole self.

Let's explore sisterhood, together.
