Back in the early 1990s, a mass of angry young women converged: fans of the sounds of punk and hardcore music who wanted the lyrics (and the attitudes of male musicians) to be less misogynistic, to reflect female lives and concerns. They also wanted to be able to surf a mosh pit at a concert without getting groped. The result was an alternative cultural movement that came to be known as “riot grrrl.”

Fueled by a do-it-yourself ethos in which riot grrrls publicized gigs and discussed issues like sexual violence and gender-based double standards in self-published zines, this phenomenon happened mainly in the Pacific Northwest and Washington, DC, headlined by bands like Bikini Kill and Bratmobile.

Things are about to heat up again, if the women visiting the Golden Notebook bookstore in Woodstock this Saturday have anything to say about it. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Sara Marcus, author of Girls to the Front: The True Story of the Riot Grrrl Revolution, Jacinta Bunnell, author of The Big Gay Alphabet Coloring Book, and local riot grrrl-inspired band UV! will present a day of feminism, zine-making, coloring books, creativity and live music.

Attendees are encouraged to bring written ideas, collage materials, photos and/or magazines for a hands-on workshop in which you will create a zine of your very own to take home. Marcus and Bunnell will read from their work, and UV! will rock out.

A $5 donation is suggested for those wishing to participate in the zine-making workshop. For more info, e-mail jackie.goldennotebook@gmail.com or check out Culture Is What We Make It: Sara Marcus, Jacinta Bunnell and UV! on Facebook.

 

“Culture Is What We Make It” with Sara Marcus, Jacinta Bunnell & UV! Saturday, May 30, 11 a.m.-3 p.m., $5, Golden Notebook, 29 Tinker Street, Woodstock; (845) 679-8000, jackie.goldennotebook@gmail.com, https://goldennotebook.com.

Frances Marion Platt

Frances Marion Platt has been a feature writer (and copyeditor) for Ulster Publishing since 1994, under both her own name and the nom de plume Zhemyna Jurate. Her reporting beats include Gardiner and Rosendale, the arts and a bit of local history. In 2011 she took up Syd M’s mantle as film reviewer for Alm@nac Weekly, and she hopes to return to doing more of that as HV1 recovers from the shock of COVID-19. A Queens native, Platt moved to New Paltz in 1971 to earn a BA in English and minor in Linguistics at SUNY. Her first writing/editing gig was with the Ulster County Artist magazine. In the 1980s she was assistant editor of The Independent Film and Video Monthly for five years, attended Heartwood Owner/Builder School, designed and built a timberframe house in Gardiner. Her son Evan Pallor was born in 1995. Alternating with her journalism career, she spent many years doing development work – mainly grantwriting – for a variety of not-for-profit organizations, including six years at Scenic Hudson. She currently lives in Kingston.
