I am the Visual Arts Events Coordinator for hercircleezine.com, an online portal of women’s creative arts and activism, featuring socially engaged works of literature and art by women from around the globe.

One of the highlights of our website is Studio HCE, an online gallery dedicated exclusively to women’s art. Currently, we are organizing a series of virtual events and exhibitions for this space in honor of International Women’s Day. One of the events we have going on is a talk from artsit Kirsten McCrea who has created a project based all about your song Hot Topic.

“‘Hot Topic’ is a series of 60 paintings that portray each person mentioned in the Le Tigre song of the same name. The song is a tribute to feminist heroes of all stripes: artists, activists, writers, musicians and others. Many of the people in the song have strongly influenced my own development as an artist and activist but are relatively unknown outside of certain subcultures. In a world that celebrates Britney Spears but forgets the names of suffragists, I wanted to find a way to solidify the memory of the underground superstars whose creativity and ideas have made such a difference to feminists of my generation” – Kirsten McCrea, 2008.

I was hopeful that we might be able to make mention of it on your site?

Many thanks, Rebekah Jones
