The Herstories Project is a community based multi-disciplinary performance and art project collecting and bringing into interactive performance women's contemporary and ancestral stories of difference, struggle, resistance, community, survival and achievement. The Herstories Project is partially funded by a grant from the City of Oakland Cultural Funding Program and supported by the Oakland City Council and Epic Arts http://www.epicarts.org/

We are counting on our community for additional support to put this show on the road and perform for Women's History Month in March. We invite you to come to our event!
