6 days from now,
Combating Latent Inequality Together Fest will begin in New Brunswick, New Jersey. I am happy to announce my own involvement with this majorly exciting event. I curated Friday night's zine reading, featuring Julia B. of
People of Color Zine Project; Rachel Levy and Sari of
Hoax Zine; Cristy C. Road,
author and artist; and my long-time collaborator Jamie Varriale Vélez of
Rock and the Single Girl. I will also be participating in two workshops: "ART LABOR: A Discussion of Art Practice, Presence, Preservation and Perseverance" and "Winging It: Nurturing Authentic Communication in Feminist Organizing" with
For the Birds.
I am so grateful that C.L.I.T. Fest is happening in the Metropolitan Area this summer. All of the organizers have already done a phenomenal job, but I am particularly proud of my sister, Jess, for her immense growth as an activist and artist in the past year. I feel lucky to be organizing alongside her.
You live and you fight, or you die. In
this "once-in-a-lifetime" podcast, the C.L.I.T. Fest team not only addresses the intricacies of organizing the event, but
why these conversations are so important, why support is vital in our communities. I highly recommend
giving it a listen.
