Noisemaker Purim Party

!!CALL TO ARTISTS!! !!SAVE THE DATE!!

GRAGGER/NOISEMAKER
The Workmen's Circle First Annual Radical Purim Party

The Workmen's Circle (a secular, progressive Jewish community) is planning GRAGGER/NOISEMAKER, a Purim Party on Saturday, March 22, 2008. Purim is a Jewish holiday that celebrates liberation and invites us to dress up, come out, and spin the world on its head.

Taking the theme of Gender Justice, this event will be a celebration of radical community and culture, centered on a Jewish holiday and open to folks of all backgrounds. We'll be celebrating the work of Keshet and Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition. The gragger, the Jewish noisemaker, is traditionally used to drown out the name of our foes - on March 22, we'll make some serious noise in a rowdy call for justice and joy.

We want this night to be fun, liberatory, subversive, joyous, and raucous as all heck - and we need your help! We're looking for artists of all genres, backgrounds, and expressions who want to contribute their vision to this event. We are seeking visual and interactive art around the themes of Gender Justice and/or Purim. For more information, contact Marjorie at marjorie@workmenscircleboston.org.
