Lineup for Ladyfest 2013 Announced
Ladyfest is returning to Philadelphia this year for the first time since 2003. Taking place in West Philly, the three-day arts and music festival is a grassroots event “dedicated to the artistic, organizational and political work of women, trans, genderqueer, intersex and queer people, as well as their allies.” Proceeds from tickets sales will go directly to women-in-need-aiding Philly orgs Women in Transition and SAFE Home.
This week, the schedule was announced, and it includes musical performances and workshops led by artists from all over the country — from New York (Attia Taylor) and Baltimore (Big Mouth) to Chicago (Blizzard Babies) and, of course, Philly (Amanda X).
