Reblog If You Support Poor/Working Class, POC and LGBTQ+ Women

So I will be selling my Miranda and Jaelin novels and prints of my Hidden Figures piece at this event! 

This is my 4th time participating. I'm going to be tabling with some awesome and talented artists and zine creators in a space created to provide a voice for poor and working class women, women of color and LGBTQ+ artists, performers and writers like myself. There will also be performances such as dancing, poetry, musical performances and more! Please show your support! Share this around if you know anyone who would be interested and if you live in the NYC area, please attend if you can. We're going to be at the Knockdown Center in Queens from July 7-9, opening at 7pm on Friday and ending at 10pm on Sunday. Thanks! :) We are taking donations in order to make this event possible. Please, if you can donate, feel free to check out this link please share with anyone who may be interested. Thanks!

CLICK HERE TO SUBMIT WORK FOR YTWSS*2016! Yeah, That's What She Said! is a series of women-lead events that build relationships and experiences through the arts and activism. YTWSS centers art and workshops by working class and poor women, women of color, immigrant women, trans women and queer women. We are collectively self-organized and largely funded by community support. In 2014 + 2015, we held weekend-long pop-ups that brought together hundreds of women from across New York City.

@yeahthatswhatshesaidnyc is accepting submissions for our 2016 events!

>>>DEADLINE MAY 15TH<<<

YTWSS*2016's theme is BODY OF WORK.  We will be offering a series of events that are informed by the feminist tradition of investigating the corporeal, from a distinctly intersectional working class/poor, woman of color, immigrant, queer + trans lens.  We are looking for art and workshops that address how women's experiences are informed by the impact of institutional and structural power on our bodies.  This may include work that engages with incarceration, body politics, racism, labor rights, borders, gender representation, ability and illness, the politics of desire,  or reproductive rights.
