PUBLISH OR PERISH

December is the month for print!
Booklyn Artist Alliance has just released WEIRD WORLD, a photo zine to accompany the exhibition by the same name. The zine features 21 artists--many from the show itself, but some hangers-on, too, myself included. I'm happy to be a part of anything Aimee curates, and also to finally publish some of my photos in print.
You can purchase WEIRD WORLD at the newly-launched Booklyn web store, and in person next weekend at the Booklyn Book Shop (details below):
I also contributed a drawing to the Women Who Rock Coloring Book Vol. 2, to benefit Girls Rock! Rhode Island--a project I am really passionate about. Girls Rock! RI had an opening party for the coloring book last night, with performances by graduates of Girls Rock! and drawings from the book projected on the wall. Might make an awesome holiday gift? So check 'em out online at Etsy.

AND--if you've made it this far in the post, I will be announcing the major project that I've worked on in the past year, which will finally be available at the end of December. Stay tuned!

WOMEN WHO ROCK
(this one is for ADRIAN)
>> D.I.Y. MEDIA PANEL <<
SEATTLE, WA
Alice Bag wrote a really great piece about the conference, and I want to echo her sentiment that it was super inspiring and reminded me that we need to continue to do this work. Also, the community in Seattle is like nothing I've ever seen: all of the academic folks are involved in community organizing, and the communal warmth was felt, even as an outsider.
Andreana Clay at QueerBlackFeminist wrote this (also beautifully-written) piece about an incident that went down during the panel discussion, which is important to read; it reminds us white folks that in order to be allies we should LISTEN first. It is amazing the connections that can be drawn between music and communication, feminism and respect, and all the rest. It made me proud to be presenting about my own journey through these issues with my comrade, Jamie. I want to write more on this, but for now, check out the articles I linked above.

WOMEN WHO ROCK + BEAT NITE
or ABOUT THIS WEEK/END...
Jamie Varriale Velez and I are participating in this great conference this week in Seattle. We’re on a “DIY Media” panel at the University of Washington/Seattle University's Women Who Rock: Making Scenes, Building Communities conference. Here's a blurb about what we'll be talking about:
"Disassemble it and dialogue with me": Communication as Punk Feminist Cultural Activism
Using our experiences within the New York City DIY/Punk feminist community, we argue that learning to communicate effectively, both interpersonally and through media like music, blogs and zines, is the activism that produces the change that we want. Learning to communicate requires us to listen to each other and expand our cultural vernacular, bringing previously marginalized voices into a new narrative and changing the way we think. This process of learning to dialogue respectfully and productively does more than merely facilitate our feminist work; it is our feminist work.
Our presentation shares how this work has enabled us to organize and contribute to our communities, and create feminist art and spaces.
Facilitators: Jamie Varriale Velez, Kate Wadkins
DIY MEDIA panel
10am - 12noon
at Seattle University
901 12th Avenue
Seattle, WA 98122
Bldg/Room: Administration 321
For more info: University of Washington & Women Who Rock Research Project
So, come say hi if you are in Washington tomorrow/Friday! We are among other great folks, too, so please see the full conference schedule here.
While I'm gone, Lauren Denitzio will be covering for me at STOREFRONT; we'll be open late for Norte Maar's BEAT NITE this Friday, from 6pm-10pm. Needless to say, go visit BRAIN WAVES! Lauren is in the collection so it's a pretty exciting event.
