All Sheroes events are brainstormed and archived online at fuckyeahsheroes.tumblr.com, uniting digital communities with real-time audiences in an ongoing exploration into fan culture and collaborative content creation.
Virtual Season — our culminating presentation of new and past Sheroes on/offline works & performances — is currently gearing into its first international reunion tour. We will be announcing soon tour dates. (If you would like to book a Sheroes event, please contact us.)
The last installment of the monthly, limited-run art party series — which brought together for over a year on and offline works that playfully and performatively explore the iconography and fan culture surrounding the League of Legendary Ladies — will put one last bit of sugar in your bowl with the batshit genius of Madame Simone.

The second last installment of the monthly, limited-run art party series — which brings together on and offline works that playfully and performatively explore the iconography and fan culture surrounding the League of Legendary Ladies — will be a very special Pride Toronto variety show extravaganza celebrating Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O’Brien’s secret White Heat Toronto history.

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:
