where the grrrls are EVENTS + LISTINGS

[Liouxsie]

So, I'm in a bit of a rush right this second, but I thought it might be somewhat useful for the more active activists to have a little resource about upcoming events in their areas to participate in. I'm from New Jersey, personally, so my biggest focus would be the tri-state New York City area, but I know about some other pretty wicked feminist occurrences going down in other parts of the country... and maybe some people out there know about events going on outside the U.S. borders.

I'm personally tired of wanting to do something productive and meeting local feminists, so if anyone else has some words to throw in about local happenings, please shout them out! This, hopefully, is for everyone! And if this thread gets enough attention, maybe we can turn it into a group.

So to start,
* March 30, 2008, 3:00 PM: The Vagina Monologues ((The Landmark Loews Jersey Theatre, Jersey City, NJ; for tickets, please visit: www.brownpapertickets.com/event/29471
)) THERE ARE A TON OF VAGINA MONOLOGUE PERFORMANCES, EVERYWHERE!, SO FEEL FREE TO LIST MORE

* March 1-28, 2008: 31 Under 31: Young Women in Art Photography ((The Gallery at 3rd Ward (195 Morgan Ave., East W'burg)
The exhibition features the work of 31 innovative young women in emerging art photography under the age of 31 all acquired through open submissions. ))

* March 28-30, 2008: Women, Action & the Media Conference ((MIT's Stata Center, Cambridge, MA; PRICE: $165 ($55 for students); www.centerfornewwords.org/wam/))

* April 4-6, 2008: From Reproductive Rights to Social Justice: CLPP Conference ((Hampshire College, Amherst, MA; PRICE: $0; clpp.hampshire.edu/projects/conference/2008/overview))

* February 17-May 12, 2008: WACK!: Art and the Feminist Revolution
((P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center, 22-25 Jackson Ave at the intersection of 46th Ave, Long Island City; www.ps1.org/ps1_site/content/view/285/102/))

I received these tip-offs from a YWTF newsletter, to give credit where it's due. Please help out and make this an interactive, activist calender!
