Stoked I saw Ed Templeton’s post about this outstanding art exhibit or I would have missed it – you have til May 24th to get there yourself.
Alien She is an exhibit of seven artists (Ginger Brooks Takahashi, Tammy Rae Carland, Miranda July, Faythe Levine, Allyson Mitchell, L.J. Roberts, and Stephanie Syjuco) that have been influenced by or part of the Riot Girl movement. The exhibit includes hundreds of historical documents like zines, fliers, and other documents from the era that defined a new wave of feminism in the punk context. Contributor, Kevin Marks made a stop in at the show on his bike ride from San Diego to Simi Valley. Check out the rest of hist trip on TravelingFreeBox.
The show currently runs through May 24th at OCMA (Orange County Museum of Art) and later this year in Portland, OR. All Photos and captions by Kevin Marks

One of my favorite exhibits – stand up, fight back
