Sheroes #6: Erykah Badu Event Line-Up Announcement

“Dare you to find a tolerable party series like this somewhere else.”

— The Grid’s Paul Aguirre-Livingston

TL;DR? The 140 version: “#sheroes @fatbellybella remix @beavertoronto tribute line-up announced http://bit.ly/yhBFg6 ft-ing @bizZarh, int’l group #GIF show & more!”

On Thursday, January 26, 2012, Sheroes will be kicking off their 2012 programming at a new downtown Toronto location with a stunning sho nuff line-up of multidisciplinary artists offering up one-night-only “remix tributes” to the Analog Girl In A Digital World, Miss Erykah Badu (AKA @fatbellybella, DJ Lo Down Loretta Brown, midwife Badoula, etc.)

The TO-based performance series — a free experimental on/offline monthly jam celebrating the “League of Legendary Ladies” — said goodbye in 2011 to “DuWest” hotspot NACO Gallery & Cafe (RIP), and is moving on to Queen West’s “alt-cultural oasis” The Beaver in 2012.

In keeping with our reputation for curating thematic performances, sounds, installations & visuals in tribute to the month’s Shero, we’ll be honouring Miss Badu with the following line-up:

• Sheroes salonnière reeraw
