Podcasts about Pussyhat

Episode recorded during the Women Shaping the World Festival, which happened at the French institute March 8-13th. What is the connection between textile crafts and feminist politics? Find out with Dr Katja May, a passionate London-based quilter and an interdisciplinary researcher who specialises in feminist theory, affect, social transformation and textile crafts. We discuss the historical links between art history, craft, and feminism and queer politics. At the end, a few audience members share their experience with craft and how they came to it. 

Le Musée historique de Lausanne propose une exposition comme un état des lieux de la construction des rôles et des identités de toustes à lʹoccasion des 50 ans de lʹinstauration du suffrage féminin en Suisse et du regain actuel des revendications féministes. Diana Le Dinh, une des 3 commissaires de lʹexposition est au micro de Florence Grivel. Quoi de neuf Pussyhat, MHL, Lausanne, jusquʹau 27 juin 2021

Hey, an election is coming up, do you plan to vote? Now is the perfect time to talk to director CJ Crim about her documentary Resisterhood, a film about the power of women, hope and resistance in modern American politics.

"I wanted to create a sea of pink." That was the goal of craftivist Krista Suh, creator of the Pussyhat. Join us for this intimate conversation on the herstory of the Pussyhat, how she tackled her goal to make 1.17 million hats in two months, and how and when she knew it was going to be a REALLY BIG DEAL. Krista walks us through how to break big goals down into small ones to get sh*t done (but also the power of big goals in starting movements), how to handle criticism when your family doesn't like your big idea and how to decide when your idea is worth pursuing.

Being a multi-genre creative with Krista Suh. I talk with Krista about being a Jane of all trades, how downtime is key for creativity, tools to balance the creative process, eliminating 'should' and 'have to' from your vocabulary, generating and choosing ideas, mental health and more.

Die Kulturwissenschaftlerin Mithu Sanyal veröffentlichte 2009 das Buch "Vulva. Die Enthüllung des unsichtbaren Geschlechts" eine Kulturgeschichte des weiblichen Genitals und mit ihm die Vulva ins öffentliche Bewusstsein. 2017 scheint die Vulva überall zu sein: als Pussyhat auf Köpfen, als Art Work auf Plakaten, als Handzeichen bei der Kanzlerin und in Musikvideos. Barbara Streidl spricht mit Mithu Sanyal über Momente in der Kulturgeschichte, in denen die Vulva eine Rolle spielte, in denen sich ihre Wahrnehmung komplett änderte – und in denen sie sogar die Menschheit rettet.

This weekend, thousands of women are marching on Washington DC. It's not an anti-Trump protest. It's not a pro-Hillary protest. Hear from spokespeople from the Women's March about why they're marching and what they hope to achieve, to promote the rights of women across the country. Find out about the hat Project, a unique initiative that has "chicks with sticks" churning out pink hats in a sign of solidarity and unity, against an incoming administration that has set a precedent of marginalizing them. We've got an all-star guest list for this show, offering many different viewpoints on this complex subject, and Rock and Spectre invite you to call in or join us in the chatroom to share your voice!

We decided to end this year with a bang and chat with one of Valentine's sheroes! We were positively thrilled to speak with musician, author, educator, and feminist archivist, Alice Bag.  Alice took us along on her drive to dinner and she spoke with us about the satisfaction of having complete creative control in the production of her Self-titled first solo album, growing up in the L.A. punk scene, her political and feminist origins, The Million Women March on Washington, the Bags, and the Pussyhat Project.  For more information on East L.A. punk legend/HBIC, Alice Bag, visit http://Alicebag.com/ Woman's Work is a monthly podcast about women doin' stuff.  We highlight music and other creative work made by women.  Co-hosted by Grace Woodard and Valentine Ubaldo.  Find us on Twitter, and Instagram at @womanswerk.  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!  

Jonny and Danette discuss recent celebrity deaths (particularly George Michael and Carrie Fisher), water damage at the local Rainbow Cafe and a call to community to help replace their LGBTQ youth lending library, HB2 shenanigans in NC and similar legislation across the country, and the importance of art as a mode of political activism and self-care.
