  • Alien She Is the Rst Exhibition to Examine the Lasting Impact of Riot Grrrl on Artists and Cultural Producers Working Today
    Alien She is the rst exhibition to examine the lasting impact of Riot Grrrl on artists and cultural producers working today. A pioneering punk feminist movement that emerged in the early 1990s in reaction to pervasive and violent sexism, racism and homophobia in the punk music scene and in the culture at large, Riot Grrrl had a pivotal inuence. The movement inspired many around the world to pursue socially and politically progressive careers as artists, activists, authors and educators. Emphasizing female and youth empowerment, collaborative organization, creative resistance and DIY ethics, Riot Grrrl helped a new generation to become active feminists and create their own culture and communities that reect their values and experiences. This exhibition focuses on seven people whose visual art practices were informed by their contact with Riot Grrrl. In various ways, they have incorporated, expanded upon, or reacted to Riot Grrrl’s ideology, tactics and aesthetics. Many of them work in multiple disciplines, such as visual art, music, documentary lm, new media, curation, writing and performance – a reection of the movement’s artistic diversity and mutability. Each artist is represented by several projects from the last 20 years, including new and rarely seen works, providing an insight into the development of their creative practices and individual trajectories. Alien She’s historical section is designed to be plural and open-ended; this is a living history, not a sealed past. By representing numerous voices and experiences, rather than outlining one single denitive story, we hope it will reect the multiplicity that was such an integral part of the original movement.

  • 'Race Riot' Within and Without 'The Grrrl One'; Ethnoracial Grrrl Zines
    The ‘Race Riot’ Within and Without ‘The Grrrl One’; Ethnoracial Grrrl Zines’ Tactical Construction of Space by Addie Shrodes A thesis presented for the B. A. degree with Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Winter 2012 © March 19, 2012 Addie Cherice Shrodes Acknowledgements I wrote this thesis because of the help of many insightful and inspiring people and professors I have had the pleasure of working with during the past three years. To begin, I am immensely indebted to my thesis adviser, Prof. Gillian White, firstly for her belief in my somewhat-strange project and her continuous encouragement throughout the process of research and writing. My thesis has benefitted enormously from her insightful ideas and analysis of language, poetry and gender, among countless other topics. I also thank Prof. White for her patient and persistent work in reading every page I produced. I am very grateful to Prof. Sara Blair for inspiring and encouraging my interest in literature from my first Introduction to Literature class through my exploration of countercultural productions and theories of space. As my first English professor at Michigan and continual consultant, Prof. Blair suggested that I apply to the Honors program three years ago, and I began English Honors and wrote this particular thesis in a large part because of her. I owe a great deal to Prof. Jennifer Wenzel’s careful and helpful critique of my thesis drafts. I also thank her for her encouragement and humor when the thesis cohort weathered its most chilling deadlines. I am thankful to Prof. Lucy Hartley, Prof.

TAMMY RAE CARLAND’S QUEER RIOT GRRRL ZINE I ♥ AMY CARTER: A WORLD OF PUBLIC INTIMACY Annah-Marie Rostowsky 122 Pages August 2014 This thesis analyzes Tammy Rae Carland’s queer Riot Grrrl zine I ♥ Amy Carter as a counterpublic sphere engendered by acts of public intimacy that make visible the intersectional complexities of gender, sexuality, class, and race that insidious traumas continually work to conceal. It looks to Ann Cvetkovich’s inquiries into the positive aspects of public cultures in the book An Archive of Feelings: Trauma, Sexuality, and Lesbian Public Cultures (2006) as well as Mimi Thi Nguyen’s investigation of the Riot Grrrl race crisis in the article “Riot Grrrl, Race, and Revival” (2012) as frameworks to critique Carland’s visual and textual articulations of the consequences of insidious traumas.

  • Riot Grrrl Document Set
    Riot Grrrl Document Set Document 1 - Bikini Kill Biography Photo: Tammy Rae Carland Bikini Kill was a punk band formed in 1991 in Olympia, Washington, whose music community produced or aided bands and artists like Sleater-Kinney, Bratmobile, Elliott Smith, and Nirvana. They are large- ly considered to be early pioneers of the Riot Grrrl scene. Comprised of singer-songwriter Kathleen Hanna, drummer Tobi Vail, guitarist Billy Karren, and bassist Kathi Wilcox, the band paired radical fem- inist themes with DIY/hardcore punk music to carve a niche space in an aggressively masculine punk scene. Bikini Kill didn’t just espouse feminist politics in song, though. They were seen as de facto lead- ers of riot grrrl, a third wave feminist political movement. Their live shows were deliberately made femme-friendly (with Hanna often encouraging “all girls to the front”) in the face of male-violence, en- couraged women and girls to start bands themselves, and built a feminist community through indepen- dent fanzines and forums that spread across the country. The band’s discography burned hot and fast, releasing only one independent demo tape, two EPs, and two full-length albums before they broke up in 1997. In 2019, the band announced they would reunite for a new tour.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract Turning toward affective and emotional manifestations of resistance, this project engages Riot Grrrl cultural production including zines, flyers, lyrics, and performances. Positioning these artifacts and enactments as a specifically queer feminist praxis, I hone in on grrrl relationality and collectivity as the embodied space where political imaginings are carried out. After first establishing the Riot Grrrl movement as a primarily affectively configured movement, I focus specifically on the mobilization of anger and intimacy within the movement. First, I position anger as an emotion that enables a queering of patriarchal protection culture that the grrrls mobilize to subvert cultural logics of fear and established relations to state institutions of protection. I argue that the mobilization of anger enables the grrrls to implement different practices of protection within the movement as an enactment of grrrl relationality. Second, I locate intimacy through expressions of admiration, friendship, and desire. Here, I highlight how the grrrls entangled friendship, admiration, and affiliation with an awareness of erotic possibility, opening the door for indefinite queer relations.

  • Music: Women's by Teresa Theophano
    Music: Women's by Teresa Theophano Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Since its emergence in the 1970s as an outgrowth of what was then called the "women's liberation" movement, women's music has remained a phenomenally popular genre among feminists--especially lesbian feminists. Women's music, loosely and logically defined as music made specifically by and for women, has always been stylistically diverse, incorporating elements of folk, acoustic pop, blues, jazz, and rock. The genre has broadened musically over time, and modern-day feminist and openly queer female performers have expanded upon the artistic freedoms established by pioneering acts. The women's music boom of the 1970s set the precedent for later forms of DIY (do-it-yourself) and even less conventional types of music such as Riot Grrl [sic] and queer punk. By encouraging women to get involved in all stages of the production of music as well as in venues such as festivals, cabarets, and coffeehouses, the initial phase of the movement helped launch a tradition of women creating their own underground media networks. While contemporary lesbian feminism and its musical manifestations may not embody the separatism embraced by 1970s women's music culture, early separatist collectives were fundamental in providing women with a starting point to create a cottage industry within the music world. 1972 and the Birth of Women's Music Among the first performers of what would be considered women's music was Holly Near, a folk musician and civil rights activist. Because most labels would not produce music with lesbian-themed subject material such as Near's, she founded her own label, Redwood Records, in 1972.
