Spokane Feminist Art Festival

More than 50 local artists are uniting to celebrate the unstoppable force of womanhood for this weekend’s inaugural Spokane Feminist Art Festival. The art, by both familiar (Jewels Dietrich, Madeline McNeill, Melane Lieb, Ildikó Kalapács and many others) and up-and-coming names in the region’s creative scene, is bound to be bold, powerful and, most importantly, intersectional. But wait — what does that mean? Look no further than the words of famous feminist bell hooks, event organizers say, who profoundly declared: “Feminism is for everyone.” The showcase, organized by Spokane Area NOW, includes a wide array of visual pieces, along with live music, spoken word and other performances addressing elements like the stigmatism of feminism, diverse representations of feminism and other goals of the modern feminist movement.
