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.)
Even though Sheroes is very much an IRL art party series in Toronto, we work hard to bring that energy to the online. For the longest while, We kept wishin’ and hopin’ that a private jet could scoop up the artists that we have involved that live in Japan and Mexico and Greece and Ireland, but until we get the budget for that, there’s now our new UStream channel.
Click on over to our channel to watch very shaky, iPhone segments that we shot live from our night (We’ll likely be continuing this for our last events: Sheroes #12: Nina Simone & our massive arts & music festival, Virtual Season.)
The Grid: “The Sheroes raison d’être, and the reason it succeeds, is that it’s cerebral while remaining fiercely emotional.”
Sheroes is a monthly art event series bringing together on and offline works that playfully and performatively explore the iconography and cultures of fandom surrounding an ever-expanding League of Legendary Ladies. Sheroes is committed to doing herstory right — reinterpreting and remixing the mythic woman-power that pervades digital and actual cultures, realizing new works from ephemeral and archival artifacts.
For Sheroes #7: Etta James, organizer Rea McNamara has commissioned an impressive lineup of local and international artists and performers. The up-from-the-ghetto roots of Etta James inspires original musical performances, digital animations, and interactive installations. Everything comes together in an immersive party atmosphere celebrating the “Matriarch”.

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:
