On the evening of October 8th, our friends at Craftswoman House will be hosting Body Stories: "an evening of dance, performance, and film curated by choreographer and performer Christine Suarez. The event will feature nine California-based artists who engage the body and intimate narratives to explore complex issues of identity. This collection of site-specific work aims to erase the boundaries between the audience and the performer through the experience of shared personal space. " 
-Craftswomanhouse Blog


We encourage all women of Womynhouse to attend as well everyone else. The event is taking place at 8:00pm at 29 North Oakland Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91104


Please promote and support the exciting events taking place this month! 

Cindy Rehm & Craftswoman House

Last week, we met with Cindy Rehm, creator of Craftswoman House. Her organization creates projects and exhibitions which aim to inspire a dialogue about feminist issues today. She gave us creative insight about working as a large group as well as mentorship about embarking upon a female-based art show. We are lucky to have her support and she has agreed to do two performance art workshops with us, once the show gets rolling. It was refreshing to hear her say that we shouldn't worry about reshaping the feminist movement, but rather take pride and excitement in the fact that we have even organized a group of women working together to make art.

Below is the link to the blog which she co-created with Launa Bacon. I have also borrowed some images from the site and would like to thank her and Craftswoman House for the interesting photographs and inspiration.

In addition, please see the paragraphs below, which I have posted from the Craftswoman House blog. There is a call for submissions for all feminist artists from Craftswomans House:

"Throughout history, creative works by women have been devalued, dismissed, and even buried. In an attempt to keep women’s work visible, Craftswoman House seeks artworks that make a direct reference to, or were inspired by, second-wave feminist art for inclusion in a November-December 2011 group exhibition. We are also seeking video and performance works for an event in early December. Please send images or links of up to five works, or a link to video or performance, a short statement on the relationship between your work and second-wave feminist art, and a CV to craftswomanhouse@gmail.com withStemma as the subject. For further information about Craftswoman House, go to craftswomanhouse.com or craftswomanhouse.blogspot.com. Deadline September 7, 2011"
