Bay Area Ladyfest 2014
Bay Area Ladyfest is an annual, non-profit event organised mainly by womyn featuring bands, musical and political groups, lecturers, spoken word and visual artists, workshops and discussion groups and are organised purely by volunteers.
The events are focused mainly on encouraging the talent of womyn and girls, and some workshops are womyn-only, so as to make them feel more comfortable, however, main music events and films/art exhibits are open to everyone.
Learn something new at series of workshops at two locations in San Francisco for Bay Area Ladyfest. Hop between workshops at Adobe Books and Modern Times Books, just down the street from each other.
Adobe Books Schedule:
12:45-2 pm: Responsible Queer Curation
What does it mean to be a socially aware & artistically diverse curator? Whether you are curating an art show or a performance program, how do you grow yourself and your organization as diverse so that you can curate great programs? Pamela Peniston from Queer Cultural Center discusses the philosophies and practices of curation that have guided her work.2:15-3:30 pm: Migration on the Page: Writing Between Languages
In this workshop, they will look at writings by Gloria Anzaldúa and other immigrant and diaspora writers who move between languages in their work. There will be a chance to reflect upon the relationships between ourselves, our bodies, our mother tongue(s), and our societies. Multilingual writing can be an extremely liberating and truthful way to tell our stories, and also a powerful way to subvert cultural policing of language and identity. In the workshop, we will also have an opportunity to write individually and share our work. Led by Amirah Mizrahi.3:45-5 pm: Feminist Frequencies: Basics of Live Sound
This is a brief introduction to the basics of sound engineering exclusively for those who identify as womyn and queers. By the end of this workshop, you should be able to set up a PA (Portable Audio) System, understand the nuances of graphic and standard equalization, feedback, compressors and other effects, live mixing, and troubleshoot the weirdest of problems. If people are interested, we will learn some basic live and studio recording techniques. Materials: Notebook, writing thing, ears or listening device. Led by Sharmi Basu.
