Hello from the Caucasus!

[Anne Elizabeth Moore]

Friends,

I'm doing a project funded by CEC Artslink with GeoAIR in Tbilisi and Batumi, Georgia throughout July, where it is hot, and there is a lot of wine. Our first event is tomorrow night, and if you will be in Tbilisi, for sure you should stop by.

Also in recent news, my Truthout column LADYDRAWERS—an investigation of gender and media in modern North America—has gotten some amazing comments, including from comics creators enthusiastic to get involved, as well as from dudes who think things are just fine the way they are, and have no idea what I am complaining about, or why I am wearing clothes when I complain about them. Read the first one with MariNaomi here, and the most recent, with Sara Drake, here. Watch for it every other week, with an amazing new collaborator for each new piece!

The Lady Dissident Chicago Travel Auxiliary is back with a new chicken-replete poster, a Tumblr, and a new Etsy store. Continued thanks to the Propeller Fund and the Andy Warhol Foundation for their awesome support!

Also, most very importantly, help me send Sara Drake to Cambodia to teach comics: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/178882708/comics-in-cambodia (and ask your friends to pitch in, too? You know we'll make good here.)

Hope you're planning on coming out to the MCA August 5th for the Garment Work 12 x 12 opening, or the gallery talk August 9th. I'll be fresh back from Georgia and desperately missing  Kvanchkara. It will be great to see you!

Heart,
