Money, It's a Hit

Vox Feminista tackles currency events.

A A A Comments By Amber Taufen Thursday, Mar 26 2009

The goal of Vox Feminista is to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable, to provoke thought in audience members, educating and inspiring the community to act for global justice. To do so, these womyn create multimedia performances that tackle a range of issues surrounding one overarching theme – and what better topic for the Vox tribe to take on than cold, hard cash? The latest subject, money, “was chosen because we’re in this time of economic crisis,” notes Vox’s Jess Steinitz. “Money confronts topics like poverty and how that relates to feminism, corporate greenwashing, lobbying, health care, Pentagon spending and also our banking system in this country. I think the overall message is that we can use this economic crisis as an opportunity -- an opportunity to create a real democracy, a democracy that functions for everyone and not just a small few.”
