Dead Feminists: Historic Heroines In Living Color, by Chandler O’Leary and Jessica Spring

It's An Adventure in Artslandia embarrassment-of-riches kind of day!

First, there's the Hotel DeLuxe Tea Party; Meet Shelley McLendon, a real mover and shaker of the Portland comedy scene. She’s the mastermind behind Bad Reputation Productions, which will open The Lost Boys October 14th.  A member of several of the city’s top sketch groups, including the Aces and the Liberators, she's also the proprietress of the Siren Theater.  She's invited Loren Hoskins, aka Captain Bogg to join her tea time. 

 

Then, learn about the book Dead Feminists: Historic Heroines In Living Color, by Chandler O’Leary and Jessica Spring, which consists of a series of broadsides and stories of extraordinary, ordinary women.  The series features quotes by historical feminists, tied in with current political and social issues. You can see their work at 23 Sandy Gallery. Then listen to my chat with 23 Sandy Gallery owner, Laura Russell,

 

 These interviews are so fascinating, you might be glad there's traffic to contend with this week!
