Empowering Women of Color Conference March 8th:

Here's the link, and some info about this year's conference theme:
http://ewocc.berkeley.edu/

Our vision of creativity and art means movement toward: an understanding
of art that redefines the connection for women of color among mind,
body, and spirit; artistic expressions as cultural resistance to
oppression; a unity among women of color that allows for identity
difference; exposing and exploring the ways in which institutions shape
our access to art; listening to and advocating for the artistic needs of
queer, intersex and transgender people; research and scholarship on
artistic issues that are particularly significant for women of color;
individual and community models of using artistic forms to heal from
systemic violence and trauma; understanding the intersections among
issues of art, poverty, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia,
militarism and imperialism; advocating for balance within personal and
professional artistic boundaries; exploring the ways in which
artistically minded amateur artists can transition into the professional
world of art; and embracing women of color's familial roles and
supporting the mother, wife, girlfriend, partner, daughter, niece,
grandmother, and friend that is found in all of us.
