Christina Pham ’13 sends in word about an exciting lecture tonight!
Kathleen Hanna, third-wave feminist artist and musician, is coming to Wes to give a talk on her musical career and activism. Through her band Bikini Kill, Hanna was a pivotal figure in what became known as Riot Grrrl, a do-it-yourself feminist movement that took place within the underground music and arts scene between 1990-1996. After Bikini Kill, she released a solo album under the name Julie Ruin in 1998 and went on to form electro-dance-punk band Le Tigre that year.
Through her musical projects, Kathleen Hanna has helped spread awareness of sexual assault, queer rights and the still-alive possibility of “Revolution Girl Style Now.” She is currently gearing up for the release of a performance based documentary called “Le Tigre: On Tour,” writing a new album and doing work surrounding the recent donation of her papers to The Fales Archive at NYU.
