There are a whole bunch of cool things happening this weekend that Calgary feminists should definitely check out!
1. Margaret Cho at the Jubilee - October 1
She's a funny feminist. Some people say those two things can't exist together, but Ms. Cho is proof that they can. Check out her video about the elusive G-Spot.
2. The Penelopiad at the Martha Cohen Theatre - Until October 9
Written by an awesome Canadian feminist, Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad is Atwood's interpretation of the classic story, The Odyssey. It tells the story of Penelope, the faithful wife of the wandering warrior-king Odysseus, during her 20-year wait for his return home. It’s also directed by a woman - Vanessa Porteous - and features eleven female actresses.
3. Screening of the film ‘December 6’
Local feminist film maker, Cara Mumford, hosts a screening of her film December 6. The film makes use of spoken word poetry, dance and collage to send a message about the Montreal Massacre of 1989.
October 3, 1:00 p.m.
