August's monthly meeting will feature an 'Hour of Power' by Jane Infantino from Damsel In Defense and Claudia Brown. Our 'Hour of Power' will begin right after our mid-meeting break and it will focus on various aspects of self-defense, the demonstration of self-defense techniques and non-lethal products ... all of which should prove to be entertaining at the least. Volunteers any one? With our community facing record levels of violence, assault and murder, I am sure you'll agree, whether you are MTF, FTM or gender non-conforming, its imperative we use and possess the best knowledge and means of self-defense.

by Taylor Mac
"Somewhere in the suburbs, Isaac has returned from the wars to help take care of his ailing father, only to discover a household in revolt. The insurgent: his mom. Liberated from an oppressive marriage, with Isaac’s newly out transgender sibling as her ally, she’s on a crusade to dismantle the patriarchy. But in Taylor Mac’s sly, subversive comedy, annihilating the past doesn’t always free you from it."
HIR(pronounced "here") performances run four nights per week from Feb.2nd to Feb. 26th with Thursday, Friday & Saturday shows at 7:30 PM, Sunday's at 6:30 PM. For more information and tickets: http://bluebarn.org/tickets/

Cassils’s one-time durational performance of Becoming An Image intersects performance, photography, and sculpture. During the performance Cassils unleashes an attack on a 2,000 pound clay block. Illuminated only by the flash of a photographer’s camera, the afterimages are burned into the viewer’s retina, speaking to concerns of unseen violence against gender non-conforming individuals. This performance is part of the artist's solo exhibition The Phantom Revenant at the Bemis Center, opening February 2.
Space is limited to 50 guests. Reservations are required and will open starting Wednesday, January 18 by calling the Bemis Center at 402.341.7130. Becoming An Image was originally conceived as a site-specific work for the ONE Archives in Los Angeles, the oldest active LGBTQ archive in the United States.
On January 21, 2017 thousands will unite in Washington, DC for the Women’s March on Washington. For those who cannot make it to DC, please join us as we march in Omaha!
