THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with host Lynn Harris Ballen : FIRST … We’re joined by multi-disciplinary storyteller Jen Cheng to hear about her latest project – a documentary short film called Bridges Across Homelands – premiering on Sat Oct 5th at 2pm during the CIRCA Queer Histories Festival for LGBTQ history month. The documentary features arts leaders Kim Shuck, Jewelle Gomez, Stephanie Anne Johnson, and Madeleine Lim of QWOCMAP (Queer Women of Color Media Arts Project) Celebrating these BIPOC feminist trailblazers in arts and culture, the event also invites you to get inspired for your own creativity with the screening, panel discussions, art vendors, and art making tables. Panelists include LA-based arts leaders Sonia Guiñansaca and Andi Xoch (Latinx with Plants) in community discussion. Tickets
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 is relevant all over again these days and 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.
