Two self-proclaimed anti-feminist groups are being accused of vandalizing female-centric Fringe posters.

Beth Dart, artistic producer of Catch the Keys Productions, said posters were plastered with stickers for two anti-feminist websites, including one based out of Edmonton.

“I’m by no means trying to instigate a gender war, but this group is wrongfully targeting local production companies in a completely misdirected attempt to bring attention to their platform which has little to know reference within the context of Fringe,” she said.

She said the small companies operate on a small budget and having to replace posters is a huge hit.

Good Women Dance Collective and Send in the Girls Burlesque have been hit.

“Fringe is about supporting community and allowing artists to open a conversation with their audience and I think that’s what’s important about our festival and our artists we have producing work here,” Dart said.
