While the festivals and associated projects that arise from self-named feminist arts collectives and organizations are admired and recognized, SISTER OUTSIDER: How We Can Do Better For Tomorrow will provide the unsaid histories of working with such theoretical frameworks and practice. In short, the film aims to pull back the curtain and serve as a guide.

In several conversations with cultural workers, artists, and organizers, the evolution and process to fruition will be revealed in dialogue and with camaraderie to evidence how intersectional feminist arts organizing is a dynamic living and breathing entity unto itself. By speaking about navigating obstacles, retrospectively identifying challenges surmounted, and most importantly the actual lived experience of doing and making, these conversations can provide suggestions for further feminist projects to take hold and possibly create more traction at the intersection of social justice and arts and culture for future programming.

****The term Sister Outsider is borrowed from the title of Audre Lorde's 1984 seminal collection of essays and speeches that critiques the myopia of a mostly white, academic community of second-wave feminists that disregards women of color, the LGBTQ+ community, the elderly and the disabled in the writings of the time. This term is used purposely and moves in contemporary formations: As a celebration of inclusive multiple feminisms and liberatory theory that actively amplifies the lived experiences of persons within communities explicitly concerning BIPOC, trans, and persons with (in)visible disabilities.
