The Feminist Tea Party Series, organized by Megan Piontkowski
In collaboration with Abrons Arts Center, PARMER is proud to present The Feminist Tea Party, organized by artist Megan Piontkowski on Thursday, January 8th from 7:00-9:00pm. Piontkowski employs the term “Practical Feminism” to address her frustration with the sexism that she, and many women she knows, put up with on a daily basis both from strangers they encounters on the street and at the workplace, and even sometimes from our otherwise liberal friends and family. She wanted to create a space where both women and men could meet to share personal experiences and discuss practical strategies that they could use to address the problem of everyday sexism. - - - On December 11th journalist Julia Homes; illustrator and cartoonist, Yao Xiao; and visual and performing artist Tif Robinette will speak at the Abrons Arts Center on the theme of practical feminism. A short video FEM Talk by artist Rob Humphreys will also be screened and work from Ash Ferlito will be on view. In the spirit of the Feminist Tea Party, tea, sweets and savories will be served. Previous iterations of The Feminist Tea Party have been presented at Marginal Utility Gallery in Philadelphia, and Radiator Gallery in Long Island City. - - - February 26, 2015 In collaboration with Abrons Arts Center, PARMER is proud to present The Feminist Tea Party, organized by artist Megan Piontkowski on Thursday, February 26th from 7:00-9:00pm with Jesal Kapadia, Hung-an Troung and Thomas Page McBee.
