Pecha Kucha “Women’s Art in Public”

22 Oct

Nine women presented images on graffiti, street art and murals that where created by women.
This by no means was this just women standing around and talking about art. The presentation was much more then that. It was one of the most moving, informative, inspiring group of women I have seen speak.


They spoke of struggle, poverty, environmental issues and how every piece of their work had such meaning feeling with so much life to it. I felt compelled to work more on activism myself!
Thank you I felt very blessed to be apart of this!!

Without the sponsors and ladies in the collective coming through the way they did, the Few & Far 2011 Female Skate Jam would have not been as BAD ASS as it was! Next year we plan on having everything a more organized jam, like having permits, a Dj, and an announcer. We hope to have even more ladies participate! This Skate event will always reman a gathering rather than a competition. Our goal is to connect female skaters and artist.

With out further adieu, a special thanks to this years sponsors…
