Sarah Burke:
Martial Arts for Feminist Journos
SF Art Book Fair,
Minnesota Street Project
In this experimental workshop, attendees will collectively undermine the historic valorization of hyper-masculinized approaches to journalism by learning to value approaches of empowered passivity through practicing the feminist concept of "circlusion" (the antonym of "penetration") and the martial arts concept of "ukemi," the art of receiving a throw. Open to participants of all ages and abilities.
