Women, and feminists in particular, have always felt misrepresented by the media. Our characters are side kicks, boobs pushed up to our chins, yet some how one-dimensional. As a result, we have been at the forefront of talking back to pop-culture through appropriation and video works, starting with Kandy Fong in 1975 and Dara Burnbaum in 1976.

As a result, women make the best remixers. We’re already highly critical of the media and images we consume, understand the complexity of being both a fan of pop-culture but also a critic of it and are supported by a huge online community.

We'll screen some awesome videos and share resources on how you can make your own remixes, regardless of your gender politics.

Elisa's been making better stories about women that don't revolve around men (or babies!) through video remix. You can check out her work here.
