Madison Young: A FAMILY OF VISIONARIES & PERVERTS →
As I look down at my ever expanding pregnant belly, I take a moment to reflect on the concept of birth and family. I birthed Femina Potens Art Gallery 10 years ago with empty pockets, no home, and a dream. I was 20 years old and fresh off the bus from farm land in Ohio and like so many of my friends, searching for a family on this island of misfit toys. A family that understands difference, that...

Amazing 15-year-old girl’s slam poetry to Kimberly Henry’s ad for plastic surgery, on a menu, across from the salad options.

Allyson Mitchell: Deep Lez - Statement →
Deep Lez is an experiment, a process, an aesthetic and a blend of theory and practice. Deep Lez is right this minute and it is rooted in herstories and theories that came before. It takes the most relevant and capable ideas and uses them as tools to create new ways of thinking while simultaneously clinging to more radical politics that have already happened but definitely aren’t over yet....

I’ve recently been reading Pin-Up Grrrls and came across a profile on the Menken (as she was known), which enthralled me. In an era where carte de vistes (a cross between a business card, photo, and pin-up) became popular, theater was a hugely class-divided thing, and women who openly courted the public eye (especially for political reasons) were considered...

I have been listening.: Seeing Eye Society. →
From the time we are born until the day we die, we’re told what to think and how to act. We’re told what is wrong and what is right, and individual thoughts and opinions are seen as rebellious and frowned upon.

Yeah, okay, I’m posting about it again.
I’m doing a zine this summer!
