FemFest goes Digital with #PortraitsOfFemme
As the length of the Pandemic continues to extend, Riverwest FemFest opts to safely continue it’s unifying mission to empower communities through the celebration of art in the form of digital content. FemFest is a platform for femmes, trans, GNC, women, non-binary and BIPOC, honoring the reclamation of power for those who have been historically excluded from, or not had, creative spaces.
Through collaborative planning & execution with a diverse host of women/femme-identifying & nonbinary leaders in local arts scenes, FemFest will optimize its platform for Women’s History Month with “Portraits of Femme.”
The unique endeavor is set to take place throughout the month of March, with an array of events & creative sharing opportunities rooted in curated & community-based involvement.
