stupid question, i know… for better or worse it did, so let’s talk about it.

SOUL REVOLUTION:
A video document of Riot Grrrl’s ongoing legacy

http://www.facebook.com/pages/GIRLS-TO-THE-FRONT-The-True-Story-of-the-Riot-Grrrl-Revolution/133721649994103

*New, extended deadline: July 31!

Did Riot Grrrl (or any variety of DIY/punk feminism) change your life?

Whatever gender you are, whether you’re in your 40s or in your teens, whatever punk rock feminism means to you—we want to hear from you.

We (Cat Tyc and Sara Marcus) are making an interactive video installation at girlstothefront.com, in conjunction with Sara Marcus’s book about Riot Grrrl, Girls to the Front, that’s coming out this fall. The point isn’t to wax nostalgic—or, at least, not to dwell in nostalgia; it’s to acknowledge and celebrate the countless ways that the legacy of Riot Grrrl is still very much alive in all of our lives. And we need your contribution to make this happen.

Send us a video!!

It doesn’t have to be anything fancy. If you don’t have access to a real camera, you can shoot it on a cell phone or a laptop.* And short: 1–3 minutes is plenty. NEW, EXTENDED DEADLINE: JULY 31!

(*If you don’t have any way to shoot video, just send us a photo of yourself that portrays something important about you, and email us your answers to the questions. We’ll fit you in.)

In the video, tell us some or all of these four things:

1. Who are you?
2. Show us your life. (This means whatever’s important to you: art, work, family, home…anything.)
3. How did you first hear of Riot Grrrl (or punk feminism, or whatever)?
4. How has it shaped who you are today?

After it’s done, please send to girlstothefront [at] gmail.com via YouSendIt (www.yousendit.com) which is a free and easy way to send files.
