their facilities for ONE YEAR! (its a big deal) Lets

"Working for years in co-ed artistic spaces, these
women felt a need to develop a creative space for
women where their stories could be heard and developed
into creative works. The result was Las Manas a
diverse female spoken word/theater spitfire circle,
mixing in hip-hop and fuerte flavors with stories of
struggle, identity and the challenges that come along
with being a woman."

13th Annual WOC Film and Arts Fest:
The theme of this year's Women of Color Film
Festival,
Regenerations, draws inspiration from the number 13
in
the Mayan calendar, which symbolizes transformation,
movement, and change. This event builds upon the
tremendous history established by previous film
festivals to bring emerging and well-established
filmmakers, artists, media activists and community
members to our campus. As the longest running
festival of its kind, the UCSC Women of Color Film
and
Video Festival has sparked dialogue across
communities
- locally, nationally, and trans-nationally - by
providing a platform for critical explorations at
the intersections of race, nation, class, gender, ethnicity, and sexuality.
