SISTER SPIT is setting off on their 2014 spring fling, spreading queer and feminist literature and spoken word performance all across North America, and they're coming to Vancouver on March 26th! This event is happening on the unceded and occupied Coast Salish territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh people.
The tradition of taking a vanload of edgy, intellectual provocateurs on the road, begun with Michelle Tea in 1997, continues with a lineup featuring brand new voices, audience favorites and the latest publications from Sister Spit Books, an imprint of iconic City Lights Books.
The legendary, raucous, rowdy performance gang, Sister Spit, will hit your town with a pack of multimedia, queer-centric brilliance, a must-see multimedia explosion of taste-makers, novelists, luminaries, playwrights, performance artists, and performers.
