A performance by Anastasia Papatheodorou

When we hear the word ‘matriarchy,’ we are conditioned to a number of responses: that matriarchy refers to the past and that matriarchies have never existed; that matriarchy is a hopeless fantasy of female domination, of mothers dominating children, of women being cruel to men. Conditioning us negatively to matriarchy is, of course, in the interests of patriarchs. We are made to feel that patriarchy is natural; we are less likely to question it, and less likely to direct our energies to ending it.

Donations encouraged

The Bureau will launch our fundraising campaign, Future Perfect: Build the Bureau, on Friday, July 26th, so we hope you’ll come to see Anastasia’s performance and make a donation at the Bureau that night–because donating online can be lonely. So come on down to the Bureau and donate in the company of friends, lovers, and friends and lovers whom you have yet to meet.
