Advancing Feminist Poetics and Activism: A Gathering
CUNY Graduate Center, September 24-25, 2009

In celebration of its tenth year, Belladonna* joins The CUNY Graduate Center's Women's Studies Certificate Program, Center for Research on Women and Society, Center for Humanities, English Department, and Poetics Group to present a conference aimed at advancing and broadcasting the life of Feminist Avant-Garde Poetics and Activism today.

The goals for this conference are:

• To support the study of the feminist avant-garde
• To encourage collaboration between radical feminist artists, thinkers, and activists
• To provide a space to think about relevant activism

We at Belladonna* are particularly interested in what's immediate, present, and happening now. We would like this to encourage conversations and new designs for work between genres, into activist communities, and among academic and non-academic discourse. We are looking for evolving modes of knowing, acting, and resisting.

Much more information and a schedule of events is forthcoming.
