Location: SubRosa Courtyard, 703 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA


Description: This class will explore the idea of feminine rage through both theory and practice. We will spend the first half of class discussing the concept of feminine rage as taken up by various feminist writers such as Audre Lorde, bell hooks, Maria Lugones, etc. and within social movements like the Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo in Argentina and the Zapatistas in Chiapas as we explore questions such as: how do women get to express anger? Which women can express anger? Where can this anger be expressed? What does feminine rage open up? and more. The second part of this class will be a collective engagement with our own experiences of rage through participating in improvisation techniques and mutual screaming. 


Note: This class is open to anyone who identifies as fem, non-binary, and gender non-conforming.


Materials: I will have a google forms sign up sheet for students to register a week in advance for readings. Please bring a notebook, water, and a snack if you would like!

The sale will be in the garden courtyard of the Hub Community Center and inside the Fábrica from 12 - 4pm. We will have tons of fabric, sewing patterns, knitting and crochet tools, yarn, notions, sewing machines, and vintage clothes for sale at great prices! 


This is a fundraiser to support the continued operation of our community textile arts workshop. Please share!


Note: The Fábrica is not only our neighbor at the Hub Community Center where we share the courtyard but also folk involved with the project are our friends. The Fábrica started at the Hub a couple years after SubRosa, and we have shared so much over the many years - collective members (being in both projects sometimes simultaneously and sometimes sequentially) and wonderful events and have supported each other in so many ways (including the Bike Church in this too). Come to their yard sale and support a wonderful project with fabulous people.

About our wonderful neighbor, The Bike Church (enter on Spruce St) - "The Bike Church is a project of the Hub and has been Santa Cruz's only community bike shop since 1998. Our shop functions in a DIY/DIT (Do-It-Together) manner: we provide the tools, space and instruction for individuals to fix their own bike with the guidance of knowledgeable mechanics. We ask for a donation of $5-15 per hour to use the shop--no one is turned away for lack of funds. We provide used and new parts for affordable prices, and have many used bikes for sale. We give away kids bikes for free. Our shop is run by a collective of mechanics and apprentices who are all paid equally. We use consensus meetings to make decisions about the running of the shop."

SubRosa is part of the Hub Community Center, in downtown Santa Cruz, CA which is the unceded homelands of the Awaswas-speaking Ohlone people known as the Uypi, who stewarded these lands since time immemorial. Centuries of colonial violence led to the removal and displacement of the Uypi. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma.

Comments on the SubRosa website are fully moderated. As a collective, we agreed that the purpose of the website was to promote SubRosa, not to provide an online place for lively and invigorating debate. We hope that the space itself is where conversations on the nature of anarchism and local projects will take place. That said, we occasionally approve comments that are informative or reflect a viewpoint we feel it is important for website visitors to read.
