Originally Musical Herstory
Now called Feministory
Why Feministory?
Feminism + History
The flaw with "Musical Herstory" was that it only focused on cis-gender women, and they are not the only ones who have been marginalized by the patriarchy. What about those who are transgender? Or those who fall outside of a gender binary?
What about people of colour of any gender? Feminism is about equality and equity for everyone.
Thanks to SK Arts' Independent Artist - Professional Development Grant, I will be starting a project that will reformat my previous research with Musical Herstory, and expand it to include more composers to be amplified and celebrated! Stay tuned throughout 2023.
