BECAUSE OF A SONG
This is a conversation between Holly Near and some of the artists that are featured on Because of A Song: https://becauseofasong.com
The event was streamed December 4, 2022.
Because of a Song is an online archive documenting the extraordinary feminist and lesbian music that burst forth from the heart of Oakland, CA. Produced by Holly Near, Because of a Song features over 30 hours of filmed conversation, 4 short films featuring Linda Tillery, Carolyn Brandy, Mary Watkins and Melanie DeMore, a curated resource room, a listening room of over 600 songs in 6 playlists, a captioned photo gallery of nearly 200 images, and much more.
No story is the whole story. We simply leave a trail. The world has always been (and continues to be) changed Because of a Song.
