Theme: “es mi lucha” (English translation: it’s my struggle)
If you’re awake and breathing, you know there’s a war waging against our gender. Has been for 10,000 years or longer. From the atrocities of various (and perpetual) war zones, to the workplace, courtrooms, behind closed doors, and even congress, women aren’t treated with or given the dignity and equanimity they deserve.
B*tch Fest will provide a platform for those artists courageous enough to confront these issues of social justice. There is plenty to bitch about. Come share your struggle with us.
