Makeshift Reclamation: New Feminist Art and Activism

A multimedia event showcasing how contemporary feminists are resisting and creating alternatives to not only gender-based oppression but also a collapsing economic system, climate crisis, and more. Featuring live readings, performances, and video works by artists and activists including Jessica Hoffmann, coeditor/copublisher of the independent, transnational, antiracist feminist magazine make/shift; Hilary Goldberg, whose new project, recLAmation, is a Super 8 experimental documentary/narrative film in which queer superheroes navigate a future beyond capitalism; and others.

On the road in less than two weeks!

I'm in the midst of drafting an essay I plan to read as part of "Makeshift Reclamation," and I'm getting increasingly excited about the works and visions that are going to travel together in this first leg of our tour. I'm thinking about collaboration and interdependence and the interconnectedness of the specific people and works and issues that will be part of these events as well as the huge yet diaphanous and shifting interconnectedness of, well, everything.

I can't wait to connect with the woods and the people of the Pacific Northwest. Soon!

Love,

Jess
