Feminist Poetry and Performance at The Fridge
One of WTGG's favorite local queer poets, Natalie Illum, will host an evening of feminist poetry, prose and performance art at The Fridge next Thursday, April 26 at 7 p.m.
The event kicks off with Barcelona's Jessica Hirst in a series of performance pieces exploring mental illness. Then, poets Molly Gaundry, Sarah Lawson and Mindy Nettifee will join Illum in a showcase of poems on relationships, identity, family and feminism. Illum says:
These writers are inspiring, fierce and fearless. Even if you have never been to a poetry show, you will leave this one remembering what it felt like when you first tried to write a poem. Maybe you will start again.
Get advance tickets and RSVP on Facebook.
After the performance, head across 8th Street to Phase One for queeraoke. Not too bad for a Thursday, eh?
When Christina isn't writing for WTGG, she's assassinating dance floors in purple high-tops, causing bike accidents, taming the wilderness, practicing her beatboxing and begging Erykah Badu to cast her in a music video. A big, 90's-inspired ball of sass, Christina's greatest mission - driven by a dilettante interest in science - is to try everything once (maybe twice) and find out how the world works. She's the queirdest girl you know.
