THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with host Lynn Harris Ballen : Artists dissent for Women’s History Month!
FIRST … Huq: I Seek No Favor is a powerful collection of artists, writers and thinkers responding to the abortion ban – the Supreme Court decision that overruled Roe v Wade. Bringing together artists and thinkers who believe in collective political action, the project invited fifty of them to respond to pages from the SCOTUS legal decision. We’re joined by Ashima Yadava who founded the project, and Suhasini Yeeda who has an essay in the collection.
THEN … Voices from the documentary SHE’S BEAUTIFUL WHEN SHE’S ANGRY – a reflection on the rise of the women’s liberation movement in the United States, which explores the emergence of political thought that challenged systems of patriarchy. SHE’S BEAUTIFUL doesn’t romanticize the early movement, but dramatizes it in its exhilarating, quarrelsome, sometimes heart-wrenching glory. The film also doesn’t shy away from the controversies over race, sexual preference and leadership that arose in the women’s movement, and captures the spirit of the time.
