RARE VAGINAL DAVIS APPEARANCES IN NYC

Sunday, January 26, 2014, 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM
Girls Against God magazine hosts
Wolf Moon Gathering, an afternoon of performance

The aftermath of industrialization is taking its toll on the dismembered female image. On the occasion of the launch of their publication's second issue with Capricious, Girls Against God Co-editors, Bianca Casady and Anne Sherwood Pundyk, gather the forces to harken back to early civilizations where women and men lived as equals and worshipped a Great Goddess. Often these Goddesses were depicted holding snakes and had serpentine features; the snakes did not represent evil as they do in The Scriptures, but were energy lines signifying the flow of life. They were symbols of rebirth, painted on women's bellies to signify pregnancy. Rather than the modern "curse" it is today, women's flow was sacred and considered the same as other "flows" such as the rain.

With performances from artists Vaginal Davis, Future Feminist Johanna Constantine and others, come together for participatory rituals using voice, rhythm, and objects of personal significance to cast healing spells under the waning Wolf Moon.
