The Heretics

In celebration of Women’s History Month, the Feminist Art Project and the Arts Council of Princeton, in partnership with the Princeton Artists Alliance, presents the New Jersey premiere of Joan Braderman's terrific humorous feature documentary film: The Heretics.

The film tells the story of the creation of the pioneering 1970s Heresies Collective and the publication of their groundbreaking art magazine Heresies. The film interviews twenty-four women (including Su Friedrich, filmmaker and Princeton University professor, the featured speaker for the evening), who talk about the extraordinary times they shared and their vision for the lives of generations of women artists to come.

$10 general/$5 Arts Council of Princeton & Princeton Artists Alliance members, seniors,
students. For tickets and information: 609-924-8777 or www.artscouncilofprinceton.org
