RETHINKING FEMINISM

A series of events, panels, performances, and discussions intended to examine different viewpoints within the current discourse around feminism in our daily lives, in the art world, and between generations. It is a conceptual sibling of the +/- Project Space.

An integral part of this program is that we remain receptive and responsive to our own community. We accept proposals for this program on a rolling basis. To submit an proposal please email (as a single PDF) a short description of the program, along with bios of all participants, and why you think SOHO20 is the right space for this event to: [email protected] with the email subject Rethinking Feminism Proposal. Please allow 4-6 weeks for a response time.

Rethinking Feminism has been generously funded by EILEEN FISHER, and the NY Department of Cultural Affairs.

Please note that after July 1, 2019, SOHO20’s +/- Project Space and Rethinking Feminism programming will be placed on hold, by vote of the new SOHO20 Artists, Inc. acting board and member artists. For additional information, please email [email protected].
