Talk Town er en folkelig debatfestival; en samtaleby om køn, ligestilling og feminisme; et forum for dialog på tværs af faglig og personlig erfaring; et sted for nysgerrighed, netværksdannelse og dialog. Festivalen er aktørbaseret i stil med folkemødet på Bornholm. Det vil sige, at den fungerer som en tværfaglig, social og kulturel ramme for organisationer, erhvervsliv, foreninger, græsrødder, aktivister, uddannelsesinstitutioner, engagerede borgere og internationale meningsdannere m.fl., hvori de kan bidrage med netop deres mærkesager. Talk Towns formål er at skabe en platform for netværk og dialog, hvor der er plads til uenighed og forskellige perspektiver, der kan mødes på kryds og tværs, men som alle peger ind i samme hovedvision; ligestilling. BAGGRUND Festivalen udspringer af Danmarks værtsskab for konferencen Women Deliver i 2016. Kulturproduktionskollektivet Indgreb ønskede at give den almene københavner adgang til de mange Women Deliver-delegerede, som repræsenterede ligestillingssagen globalt, og forankre de globale ligestillingsproblematikker, der blev behandlet på konferencen, i en dansk kontekst. Derfor kontaktede Indgreb Kvinderådet og gennem et stærkt samarbejde løb den første Talk Town af stablen i Kødbyen i 2016. Festivalen var egentlig kun tænkt til at finde sted en enkelt gang, men fremmødet og opbakningen var så stor, at festivalen vendte tilbage på Hovedbiblioteket i 2017, og igen i 2018 i Huset-KBH. I 2019 blev festivalen afholdt i Den Brune Kødby, hvor Talk Town samarbejdede med 75+ internationale og danske aktører, som præsenterede 100+ arrangementer for 3000 gæster. De sidste fire år har vist, at Talk Town er kommet for at blive. Således blev 2019 også året hvor Talk Town fik vokseværk, og foreningen Talk Town stolt kunne præsentere både 3-dagsfestival i København i maj og 1-dagsfestival i Århus i september. Derudover kuraterede Talk Town i 2019 talkprogrammet til projektet Kvinder I Centrum, som arrangeredes af spillestedet Forbrændingen i Albertslund. Som afslutning på dette projekt og samarbejde, præsenterede Talk Town en 1-dagsfestival på Forbrændingen d. 30. november

FASK founder Aarseth has worked as seaman in many years, the last years offshore and within anchorhandling. He came from goods/bulk trade and older secondhand vessel types to a offshore environment with new and modern vessels with top equipment of all categories onboard. It was therefore nearly  a shock-experience for him, when he at his first rig-move and this up to date working environment,  observed working methods associated with the stone-age while performing the opening of kenterlinks. Aarseth thought to himself that this operation seemed dangerous and cumbersome. He thought of his own sons working in this industry, and felt that this needed a better solution. That thought was the beginning of the kenter link opener, and Fask Tools. Aarseth came in contact with Statoil and Havila, who were immediately interested, but that required testing of this then unknown tool in  safe environment before testing/operation offshore. Testing was performed onshore by Kongsberg Devotek and later offshore and in operation onboard the Havila Mars.
