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.)
Starting this week, our Wurlitzer electric piano playing, internationally recognized dude — he just toured Russia and is one of the headliners for our all-day music and arts festival, Virtual Season! — will be answering any Nina Simone questions you might have in the lead up toSheroes #12: Nina Simone. (In fact, he’s a pretty awesome artist in his own right!)
Consider him a far more resourceful Yahoo Answers humanoid at your disposal for anything-related to our High Priestess.
