The program, “On Abolishing the Family – and finding Alternatives”, featured readings, a panel, pop-ups, and more. Sadie Lune performed as an ecosexercise workout instructor along with a screening of Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens short film.

It was very fun and beautiful to see Annie and Beth air-hugging trees on the big screen.

The HAU staff had kindly organized a reserved chair for me, but I had forgotten to specify that I need a chair with arms and so I wound up exhausted from supporting my body and had to leave before the panel Sadie participated in.

I’m just grateful I was able to be there.

I am so grateful to my Patreon Patrons, whose monthly financial support makes it possible for me to continue making art as a homebound disabled person.

With your support, I can work from home or safely outside and keep telling the stories of Berlin.

I went home last Friday and started a pussy piece, and of course I was thinking of The Dinner Party. You can’t think about pussy art and embroidery without it.

It was sometime in the 80s that I first saw Judy Chicago‘s Dinner Party. It was as a black and white photo in the Village Voice, and I remember it so clearly. It was still shocking then; it’s still revolutionary now.

I became acquainted with Annie while I lived in the Bay Area and was exhibiting and drawing at Madison Young’s queer art gallery, Femina Potens.

We talked about my painting a portrait of Annie, but could never organize the timing. I still hope to, as Annie will be in Germany this summer!

I am going to raffle off this piece to raise money for Planned Parenthood.

Anyone who sends me a copy of their March $20 or more donation to Planned Parenthood (with your name, but personal details obscured of course!) will be entered to win the piece. As embroidery works take me a minimum of twenty hours, and this one took about twenty-five, it’s a chance to win a piece I would have to charge a lot for!
