DESCRIPTION:“We do not believe that rape can end within the present capitalist, 
 racist, and sexist structures of our society. The fight against rape must 
 be waged simultaneously with the fight against all other forms of 
 oppression.”\n\nC. ~ 1970’s Letter to the Anti Rape Movement From Santa 
 Cruz Women Against Rape\n\nSubRosa is collaborating with Felix Kulpa II, 
 Interference Archive, Lesbian Herstory Archives, and What Goes up must come 
 down, to exhibit Take Back the Fight: Resisting Sexual Violence from the 
 Ground Up. Opening Friday February 2, at 6 pm.\n\nEchoing present tensions 
 within feminist organizing against gender violence, the above quote is 
 pulled from the Lesbian Herstory Archives in Brooklyn, New York. It’s a 
 1970’s statement of local Santa Cruz organizers, in opposition to trends 
 they saw in mainstream rape activism. This letter will be up at SubRosa for 
 the month of February, grounding our conversations about the history and 
 ongoing struggle of the fight against gender and sexual violence.\n\nAlso 
 around the corner at Felix Kulpa II (209 Laurel Street) will be a more 
 in-depth archival exhibition of this dynamic history.\n\nExhibition 
 Dates:February 2, 2018 – February 24, 2018 (and perhaps longer at 
 SubRosa)\n\nOrganizing against sexual violence is intimately linked to 
 struggles for liberation in both public and private spheres. The history of 
 organizing against sexual assault and rape helps us to understand feminist 
 resistance to violence as a collective struggle against patriarchy, and 
 against sexual and gender violence as a function of state 
 violence.\n\nFirst shown in 2017 at NYC’s Interference Archive, Take Back 
 The Fight focuses on organized responses to gender and sexual violence, 
 highlighting the ways individuals and communities have developed creative 
 and powerful grassroots and noninstitutional justice and healing 
 practices.\n\nFor more information about the exhibit & related events
