Cancelled – YBCA:ConVerge Monthly Art Gathering | SoMa

November’s ConVerge, part of Yerba Buena Third Thursdays, presents performances, workshops, and interactive installations emphasizing empowerment, creative resistance, and DIY ethics in conjunction with Alien She, an exhibition examining the lasting impact of the punk feminist movement Riot Grrrl, on view in YBCA’s Downstairs Galleries.

Activities include a free self-defense workshop led by Oakland collective Girl Army, a live performance by Party Bus, and an art-making station led by YBCA Young Artist At Work Alum Vlynn V. Vance. Visitors are invited to meet and converse using Alien She artist Miranda July’s interactive messaging service mobile app Somebody at this time, while selections from music playlists featured in Alien She representing different Riot Grrrl scenes across the U.S., Canada, South America, and Europe, guest curated by musicians, DJs, and label owners, play throughout the evening.
