cherchez la femme

Elizabeth Mendez-Berry and Jeff Chang: interviewed! “Hip-Hop Journos Speak Out Against Sexism.”
From Professor Sarah Dougher on the girlgroup:
“I wanted to let you all know that I have started a label here in Portland called Chercez La Femme. In part it is designed to take up where Mr. Lady left off, since I think that there is still a need, maybe now more than ever, for a label focused on ladies, queers, and moreover feminist projects. The first release will be my own record, Harper’s Arrow. It is coming out in three weeks.
The second will be a comp benefit for the queer youth center here starring the Indigo Girls, Sleater-Kinney and the Decemberists, as well as many local bands and solo artists. This comes out in July.
Part of what I want to do is keep a wide curatorial door open, and so as you move through the world, please feel free to forward ideas to me and keep me posted about what is going on where you live.”
