🔉Join us for the final installment of our “Gender Trouble” three-part discussion series hosted by Marcus Kuiland-Nazario! Marcus will discuss gender expressions around smells, hairstyles, clothes, food, and household items featuring a new guest each week. Our final guest is Dorian Wood!
...
Acclaimed non-binary musician/multi-disciplinary artist/activist Dorian Wood (pronouns: they/them) was born in Los Angeles, California, USA, to Costa Rican parents. They seek to glorify both the sanctity and the irreverence of intimacy. Through their corpulent body and voice, Dorian challenges the separation of artist and spectator, using subject matter informed by their own perspective as a non-binary person of color and an autodidact without a formal college education or a strong alliance to any particular community. Dorian is in the process of releasing two new albums this Fall: ARDOR and REACTOR. In regards to the album REACTOR, Dorian shares: “It’s a completely new sound for me, and I feel that it continues to push the boundaries of what we consider to be folk music. Can electronic music be folk? Yes, oh my yes."
‘ARDOR' RELEASED FRIDAY, SEPT 4TH
‘REACTOR' RELEASES FRIDAY, OCT 16TH

Suzanne Lacy (a renowned pioneer in socially engaged art) and Neda Moridpour (an artist, educator, and organizer) discuss using the arts to address violence against women.
〰️
Suzanne Lacy [Image 5-7: “De tu puño y letra,” Quito, Ecuador, 2014-2015]:
In Ecuador, an estimated 6 of every 10 women are victims of violence and only 10% of women escape violent partners. When Lacy arrived in Quito in 2014 she was introduced to the 2012 “Cartas de Mujeres” project, where 10,000 Ecuadorian women wrote letters on their experiences of violence. She saw the letters as an unanswered plea for action.

Neda Moridpour [Image 8-10]:
WOMEN ON THE MOVE transforms a 26-foot truck into a mobile billboard and resource center to address sexual assault, harassment, and domestic violence.
