Queer Croning at Outsider 2020
I was happy to team up with the esteemed Kay Turner and a cast of thousands to present a Queer Croning at Outsider, an Austin-based transmedia celebration of creative originality of LGBTQ+ communities. This celebration of the post-menopausal women in all of us was inspired by Croning events at the American Folklore Society’s Women’s Section.
