Lady Fest Boston Presents: "Who Took the Bomp? Le Tigre on Tour" - a film screening!
January 22, 4-7 PM
WHO TOOK THE BOMP? LE TIGRE ON TOUR follows iconic feminist electronic band Le Tigre on their 2004-2005 international tour across four continents and through ten countries. Supported by a community of devoted fans and led by outspoken Riot Grrrl pioneer Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill), Le Tigre confronts sexism and homophobia in the music industry while tearing up the stage via performance art poetics, no-holds-barred lyrics, punk rock ethos, and whip-smart wit in this edgy and entertaining documentary. Directed by Kerthy Fix.
This screening is part of a series of events happening during the "Adventures Close to Home" Art Exhibition and Auction (Jan. 13th - 28th), all proceed of which will benefit LadyFest Boston, happening February 3-5th.
The auction will be open to all those who attend the screening, so come by to watch this great documentary, eat some FREE POPCORN, and see (and bid on!) the art of feminists in our community.
