Celebrating Queens Women Artists

Queens Arts Council hosted a celebratory event called "Celebrating Queens Women Artists," a tribute to Queens-based women and emerging artists in public service, business, technology, and community development programs. The event was curated and hosted by Joan Becht Willette aka "The Enchanted Goddess," a writer/educator and the creatrix of "The Enchanted Goddess: Literary Creative Arts Series."  "Celebrating Queens Women Artists" featured a dynamic multi-genre arts performance with 12 female artists featuring dance, poetry, music & film performances, a visual art exhibition, an author table, a book signing, and a free raffle. 

My friend + GABRIELA New York kasama, May Madarang, invited me to perform with her in her set. 

[03.10.11] 🎻 "Will you sit with me...just for a little while? I know there's a world we're fighting for." Last night I was honored to perform alongside @makeshiftmay for her layered + dynamic acoustic set during the Celebrating Queens #WomenArtists event by @queenscouncilarts. We sang a duet/harmonized healing piece by @mothertonguetheband, and I vocalized spoken word written by @cole_j_carothers while May played violin. We even got everyone up to dance and create movement for the #MOVEMENT @one_billion_rising. We learned and felt the experiences of so many artists emerging and creating space for a more beautiful world. Thank you, maymay, for trusting me with your art -- for inviting my voice to be a vessel for the messages and actions to end violence against women. #womenshistorymonth #riseinsolidarity
