The
Details
This
September, join us for an evening of making noise! Our special Fall
event, "Women’s Voices," will be a celebration of
diversity in our community through performances of music, poetry,
and theater. Local artists will share their work, completed or in
progress, in a supportive, women-friendly atmosphere electrified
with the sounds of women speaking their minds, hearts, and bodies.
This
event is truly representative of The Women’s Building –
offering a safe space where women can come together and build coalitions
of empowerment. On September 12th, we’ll celebrate the individual
and group forms of artistic expression that make our community so
inspiringly unique, and at the same time a site for convergence.

The
event will kick off with food and drink from local restaurants and
suppliers at 6:00pm to loosen up our tongues. The performers will
take the stage around 7:30pm in the Auditorium, introduced by the
provocative and talented Marga Gomez. Marga moved to San Francisco
in the 1980’s and spent three years performing with the feminist
theater collective, Lilith. She’s also worked with the Tony
Award-winning San Francisco Mime Troupe and was one of the original
members of Culture Clash. She can also be seen performing in Eve
Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues this summer at San Francisco’s
Alcazar Theatre from June 26 to July 8. We’re sure she’ll
set a lively tone to the evening!
And
to release the performer in each of us, we’ll hit the dance
floor until 10:00pm to the world beat rhythms of a locally renowned
DJ. The entire event takes place within the vibrant, painted walls
of The Women’s Building, where we welcome women to speak their
minds every day.
We are strongly committed to representing all corners of our community
– all races, cultures, religions, sexual orientations –
through this night of art and celebration. Please let us know if
you would like to get involved. As an individual, you can volunteer,
submit your work to the jury for a chance to perform, partially
sponsor, or simply attend (tickets go on sale in August). Corporate
sponsorships are also welcome!
