Lara Schnitger: Suffragette City
Following the procession, join us for a community gathering with open mic to share thoughts and reflections regarding the recent election. We welcome one and all to join us as we come together in solidarity. The community gathering will begin at approximately 2 p.m., and the afternoon will also include a musical performance by Miya Folick.
On Sunday, Schnitger further explores feminist speech by inviting filmmaker Kerri Koch to share her work, Don’t Need You: A Herstory of Riot Grrrl; followed by a screening of Inez Milholland: Forward Into Light, a short film by Martha Wheelock on the preeminent suffragette; and a talk on contemporary witchcraft and closing ceremony by Amanda Yates Garcia, the Oracle of Los Angeles.
This program is part of the Hammer's Bureau of Feminism initiative.
