Event

New York, NY, Sep 23, 2011—As part of the Word*Rock*&Sword festival in New York, Astraea presents a film screening and workshop with Invincible, the Detroit-based hip-hop artist/activist. Invincible will lead a strategic visioning session focused on supporting women musicians and media makers rooted in social justice.

You will see excerpts from "The Revival" film series (directed by Invincible), which documents independent women hip-hop artists. There will also be an opportunity to articulate the support you need, and exchange concrete skills in order to grow the women's music movement.

Free and Open to All!

More about Invincible: It is truly rare to find an artist like Invincible. Her spitfire wordplay has earned acclaim from hip-hop fans around the world, while her active involvement in progressive social change has taken her music beyond entertainment towards actualizing the change she wishes to see.

More about Word*Rock*&Sword : In response to the conservative political backlash against women’s rights, the first Word*Rock*&Sword festival will unite New Yorkers for eight dynamic days of creativity, support and activism. Conceived by musician-activist Toshi Reagon, Word*Rock*&Sword offers performances, screenings, classes and discussions at Manhattan and Brooklyn performance venues as well as yoga studios, cafés and bookstores, September 18-25.
