OUR MISSION:
The VoxFem Network will create (at no charge) virtual venues, original media, events, and connections featuring outstanding women singer-songwriters, composers,
visual artists, filmmakers, authors, thespians, and changemakers from every nation and occupied territory on Earth.
We center, support, amplify and promote non-dominant voices, thought, and culture. Under the auspices of 501C3 Red Salmon Arts, VoxFem is funded in part by the Alice Kleberg Reynolds Foundation, Resist.org, and individual donors. To explore the worlds of VoxFem Network, browse this site and subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/voxfem.
VoxFem Network centers:
-
excellence, first and foremost
-
original work
-
BIPOC, 2SLGBTQIA, and women with disabilities
-
languages other than English
We are a multi-platform stage for events
a gathering place and archive
that is a home
where the world-changing
music, poetry, film, art, vision, global health & activism
of women
is experienced, featured, followed, and honored
within a rich, historical context
We translate, most of the time.
Sometimes it's good
to just sit in the presence of other languages.
For accessibility, we provide:
-
ASL interpretation for live events
-
Captions in video podcasts for hearing-impaired audiences
-
Transcripts for audio podcasts for hearing-impaired audiences
-
Audio descriptions of visual content for visually impaired audiences
-
See one of our venues, Luce Centre for Deaf Arts for more events and resources.
We use our social media pages
to share our original content
to amplify the work of kindred artists and organizations
and to link the artists with each other.
To suggest an artist or changemaker, please contact us.
