Our November bookis: Glitch Feminism: A Manifesto, by Legacy Russell.
Book Description:
"A New York Times Best Art Book of 2020
A new manifesto for cyberfeminism: finding liberation in the glitch between body, gender, and technology.The divide between the digital and the real world no longer exists. We are connected all the time. How do we find out who we are in this digital era? Where do we create the space to explore our identity? How can we come together in solidarity?A glitch is normally thought of as an error, a faulty overlaying, but, as curator Legacy Russell shows, liberation can be found within the fissures between gender, technology, and the body. The glitch offers an opportunity for us to perform and transform ourselves in an infinite variety of identities. In Glitch Feminism, Russell makes a series of radical demands through memoir, art, and critical theory, as well as the work of contemporary artists—including Juliana Huxtable, Sondra Perry, boychild, Victoria Sin, and Kia LaBeija—who have travelled through the glitch in their work."
We recommend that participants get their books from a local bookstore. We highly recommend Books and Mortar!
