We are so happy to announce that we are the recipients of an ABOG Fellowship for SociallyEngaged Art (SEA) for SexEd. This one-year fellowship pairs $20,000 in unrestricted project support with strategic assistance, assessment and documentation of each project, access to facilities, and other tailored resources.

The SEA Fellowship will support SexEd as it initiates an artist residency at the school-based health center and develops an arts-based sexual health curriculum at Washington Irving High School Campus in New York City. SexEd will focus on key themes identified by students, teachers and health center staff on campus including HIV/AIDS, gender, healthy relationships, pleasure, and consent.

We are one of 7 projects ABOG is funding this year, for more info check out their website: http://www.abladeofgrass.org/ablog/a-blade-of-grass-announces-inaugural-fellows-for-socially-engaged-art/.

We are thrilled to be part of “Yeah, That’s What She Said,” a weekend-long arts and education festival at Specials on C on the Lower East Side. On Sunday March 30, as part of “Gaze for Days,” Karen B. K. Chan and Johana Moscoso’s SexEd videos by will be screened, and Norene & Liz will be participating in the filmmakers panel discussion — so come on out! This event is open to people of all gender expressions.

There are also tons of amazing workshops Saturday and Sunday for anyone who self-identifies as a woman, from “Know Your Cervix, Love Your Body” to “Political Education with AF3IRM.” Sign up, it’s sliding scale so no one will be turned away: http://yeahthatswhatshesaidnyc.tumblr.com/workshops.

This is an intersectional-feminist event, centering the work of all woman-identified folks, women of color, queer women and working-class women. While YTWSS is aiming for inter-generational inclusivity, a good deal of the content will be aimed at the grown-and-sexy and may deal with mature themes.
