Rebellion is necessary in our society and the fact that I’m a female—you’re just going to have to get over it…We’re strong, We tough. We’re brave. —Lady Pink
Some Serious Business is proud to announce the premiere of director Alexandra Henry’s Street Heroines, an award-winning feature-length documentary celebrating the courage and creativity of women who despite lack of recognition have been an integral part of the graffiti and street art movement since the beginning. Following TooFly, Fusca and Magrela, and punctuated by historical anecdotes from pioneering NY-based artists Lady Pink, Swoon, and iconic photographer Martha Cooper, Street Heroines captures the collective outcry of female street artists, from NYC to Mexico to Sao Paulo, Brazil and beyond, who are indisputably a part of the worldwide movement. Buy tickets to the screening on September 20th.
As Associate Producers of the film, SSB is delighted to be a part of the team that shines a light on the contributions of women to cultural activism and art, and to support Alex and the artists at the event as they unveil their uncompromising vision of female artists in a male-dominated subculture.
