VIDEO: ZINE CULTURE AT SARAH LAWRENCE

It's like our own version of LIVE! TONIGHT! SOLD OUT!!

Last Tuesday night, I rode the Metro North up to Bronxville to visit Sarah Lawrence for a zine reading hosted by Kate Angell. Kate, a frequent collaborator and friend, recently established a zine collection at my alma mater, and organized the zine reading as a celebration.

I read the introduction to International Girl Gang Underground and one of my favorite pieces from the zine by contributor Katie Crutchfield. My dear friend Cynthia took this video so I could share it with you. I intended to also read my piece "This is a Thank You Song..." but wanted to leave enough space for the other speakers.

Kate and her librarian-partner-in-crime Charlotte Price (who recently moved to the Music Library at Sarah Lawrence) made delicious baked goods, which I thought looked enticing placed next to Stephen Duncombe's Notes from Underground and Cindy Crabb's Doris collection.

THE KATHLEEN HANNA PROJECT: CALL FOR VIDEO SUBMISSIONS

My update for today is kind of an embarrassing one, in the true tradition of fan-girl-ism. Fellow Kathleen Hanna Project intern Erica and I created this Call for Submissions website to collect videos about Kathleen Hanna for Sini Anderson's film The Punk Singer, and included both an instructional video made by us (get ready for the goof), and our own personal submissions. All the info is listed below.

& here's my submission:

The Kathleen Hanna Project is collecting stories about Kathleen for the film The Punk Singer. We want you to tell us in your own words: Who is Kathleen Hanna, and why should we know who she is?

HAPPY HOLIDAZE

My gift to you, another Cheeky [second-to-] last show video found on the internet. Surprising, I know. I really like this one, I think it's analog.

Women Present

A lot of sweet Purchase alumna will be participating in this show. I will be showing some of my video work.

WOMEN PRESENT
A Feminist Art Show
Shinbone Alley, Presented by the Culture Project
Sept. 21, 6:30 p.m., 45 Bleecker Street, corner of Lafayette Street
www.IMPACTfestival.org

"Women Present" is part of the citywide, month-long Impact Festival, and the Culture Project's monthly UnfinishedWorks salon series.

'Women Present' is the second show by the Women's Art Collective, a group of emerging, NewYork-based artists who have come together as a community of feminists and friends to be a source of creative inspiration, to encourage one another's visions and to collectively negate the tendency to silence and second-guess ourselves. Personal and political are intertwined in this artistic event comprised of still image, film, performance and dance.

UnfinishedWorks regularly features the work of emerging artists across disciplines. In September and October, in concert with the IMPACT festival, UnfinishedWorks is curated by Zoeann Murphy of the Bread and Roses Cultural Arm of 1199SEIU, and artist Molly Stinchfield.

Bread & Roses (www.bread-and-roses.com) is the not-for-profit cultural arm of New York's Health and Human Service Union, 1199/SEIU. Bread and Roses was founded in 1979 as a cultural resource for union members and students in New York City who would otherwise have little access to the arts. Special emphasis is given to programs that signify and interpret their history while generating new artistic expression.
