Femme2010: No Restrictions

Femme2010: No Restrictions - August 20-22, 2010 Oakland Marriott City Center 1001 Broadway Oakland, California 94607 August 20th – 22nd, 2010 http://femmecollective.com Femme2010: No Restrictions is a multi-threaded conference and forum for those who think about, talk about, and create Femme as a queer gender and identity. Following our Femme2006 & 2008 conferences in San Francisco & Chicago, where hundreds of femmes and allies gathered for workshops, panels, films, visual art galleries and performances, we again invite community members, artists, academics, homemakers, geeks, techies, activists, femmes of all kinds, and their allies to continue the conversation by participating in Femme 2010 as presenters and participants. We are invested in having Femme2010 continue to reflect the diversity and complexity of femme gender, identity and contributions. We hope for this conference to be a community building event, as well as an exploration and celebration of what it means to build and live queer femme identities. ***REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN*** Early bird registration - $50 right now!
