BAAD ASS BRUJAS TRIBUTE
The Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance calls
all BAAD ASS women and all those who love and appreciate
BAAD ASS women in a tribute to BAAD ASS brujas. We lovingly
chose the term "Brujas" because instead of conforming
to societal dictates we resist and rage against injustice,
against oppression, against the system, and against "the
man". With their "witch hunts", the system
likes to persecute, abuse and ultimately destroy fierce,
revolutionary women, but the purpose of the BAAD ASS Women's
Festival is to honor them and celebrate them as we should.
Saturday, March 25th, 2006
4-6 PM
At Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance (BAAD)
841 Barretto Street. Hunts Point, Bronx, NYC.
TRIBUTE TO DYLCIA PAGAN & YASMIN
HERNANDEZ’S BAAD! ASS BRUJAS.

Ms. Pagan shares an intimate talk on her experiences and
of women who stand strong and stare down opposition. Joining
Ms. Pagan will be painter and artist Yasmin Hernandez
who will share a slide show of BAAD! ASS BRUJAS and talk
about their histories and contributions to the world.
