JUST DO IT: Beyond Visibility @ Wooden Shoe, 1/20

Femmes, step into your high heels and join the roadshow! This Friday, Philly’s anarchist and radical bookstore, Wooden Shoe, will host Beyond Visibility: Illuminating and Aligning Femmes. The free event will include “unplugged” performances of all types — puppetry, music, burlesque, spoken word — and several of Philly’s most famous femme-identified performers like Mesapotamia LeFae (pictured), Laura Rabbit, and The Notorious OMG. ScrewSmart's Rebecca Alvarez will also mediate a post-performance panel at which artists and audience members will have the chance to raise awareness and build community through lively discussion.

Beyond Visibility is part of a project that's traveling around the country to promote Baltimore's August 2012 Femme Conference, which will feature empowering lectures, panels, workshops and performances. For the past six years, the project has worked to unite femmes and allies by creating an open dialogue about gender, and to build a cohesive forum where identity can be celebrated and explored. Join the conversation (and the fun) for a night of femme-fabulous entertainment and bonding.

Fri., Jan. 20, 8 p.m., free, Wooden Shoe Books, 704 South St., 215-413-0999, woodenshoebooks.com.
