Artist Registration Form for Women's Strike NYC Fest 2023
Deadline for submissions: March 1, 2023 The Women's Strike NYC Festival 2023 — to be held in Washington Square Park on Saturday, March 11th from 1pm-4pm — is looking for community engaged artists, performers and creatives interested in leading art activities during the festival and/or at the art build on Wednesday, March 8th. Participatory projects are preferred, but other proposals are welcome. The 2023 Women’s Strike will focus on five axes of struggle: Reclaiming the Commons; The Battle over Labor; Reproductive Freedom; Gender-based violence; and Translocal feminisms. We are looking for artworks and performances that uplift each of these axes. (For reference, here is some more explanation of the axes and a list of slogans/quotes to get you thinking: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-_fIqxJh9C45ulJ3HqtAAf11984gHhCV8e2d1_66wRc/edit?usp=sharing ) You can also follow us on IG, Twitter and Facebook @womenstrikenyc, and refer to this short video from our 2020 Women’s Strike Fest for inspiration: https://vimeo.com/397268075/8e2984218d If you have already participated in a Women’s Strike NYC Fest, rally or march (we have been at it since 2017!) and/or have a clear idea of what you would like to do, please complete this form even if you have already spoken with one of the organizers.
