KFAI

Hosts: Dixie Treichel & Cole Graske aka BE
Happy Women’s History Month!

Guests:

Marcela Michelle & Keila Anali from Lightning Rod, a collective of queer/trans performance artists creating new works.
Lightning Rod’s community is the 2SLGBTQIA+, queer artists of the Twin Cities metro area. These are artists who are seeking ways that art can be utilized as a community response to an uncertain and often hostile world. The mission of Lightning Rod is to show our community how we already possess the skills and knowledge to create meaningful, timely, quality performance art relevant to ourselves. We have identified six key elements as foundational to our work: Queer (all of the kinds), Emergence (a discipline), Possibility (say yes to the dress!), Collaboration, Access, Professional Development.

Lisa Vecoli, founder of the Minnesota Lesbian Community Organizing Oral History Project and retired curator of the Tretter Collection in GLBT Studies.
The Minnesota Lesbian Community Organizing Oral History Project was founded to document organizing and activism in the lesbian community, especially from the early 1970s to the mid 1980s. Oral histories, transcripts and any donated material will be archived with the Tretter Collection in GLBT Studies at the University of Minnesota Libraries. If you have a story you’d like to contribute, get in touch with Vecoli at mnlesbianhistory@gmail.com
