[Guest guest]

Came across this. The first time I've seen a wheat free potluck for people who weren't celiacs.

Wednesday, June 18 2008 El Rio, San Francisco 7pm. crafts, performance, wheat free potluck (with dairy), consciousness raising 8pm. films 9:30 pm performance continues djs kicking some sisterhood is powerful ass all night. $10-15 notaflof From macramé to separatism, the Deep Lez Potluck and Performance Night re-examines elements of radical lesbian theory, practice and politics from a contemporary queer perspective in the hope of preserving that which is visionary, relevant and just plain cool. National Queer Arts Festival The Queer Cultural Center stages an annual month-long multidisciplinary National Queer Arts Festival, documents significant Bay Area Queer arts events on our Website, provides fundraising and other technical assistance services to emerging culturally-specific and gender-specific Queer arts groups. Deep Lez uses cafeteria-style mixings of craft, context, food, direct action and human connection to maintain radical dyke politics and resistant strategies. Part quilting bee, part public relations campaign, and part Molotov cocktail, Deep Lez seeks to map out the connections between the second-position feminisms that have sustained radical lesbian politics and the current third-wave feminisms that have zeroed in on the flaws of that radicalism. And rightly so. But Deep Lez wants it all and wants it for everyone—inclusive feminisms with the best of radical lesbian theory and practice. This isn’t about nostalgia and it’s not about obstinance. It’s about culling what’s useful from our herstories and charging forward with it, full throttle. It’s about resurrecting ’lesbian’ as a site of proud, politicized identification, rather than one of apathy, or worse yet, shame. Deep Lez is a point of departure for me and you to start thinking about our politics and what’s important to us and our communities. Deep Lez is a macramé-d conceptual tangle for us to work though: how we’re going to integrate art into our politics and politics into our art; how we’re going to imagine the world and our place in it. Deep Lez is to be passed hand-to-hand from crafter to filmmaker to student to teacher to leader and back again. We can band together through Deep Lez to realize our way out of this dysfunctional habitat; to create new ecologies, new policies and new styles. Deep Lez is a new kind of sisterhood that isn’t based on gender and privilege and a new kind of brotherhood that isn’t based on rape and pillage. Deep Lez is the volunteer, the workshop coordinator, the curator, the consumer, the instigator and the first-initiated--anyone who’s intrigued by this bell-bottomed fat-assed catch all, whether they’re dykes or not; they’re still Deep Lez.Enjoy 5 GB of free, password-protected online storage.
