After 7 years, Acting like Women by Cheri Gaulke ’75 premiered in June. Acting Like Women tells the story of California feminist performance art during the 1970s, and the ways in which they laid the groundwork for future art and social justice movements.

As Gaulke explains, “my life changed forever in 1975 at the Woman’s Building in L.A. There I found my voice as a woman, artist, lesbian, teacher, activist. Through performance art I learned what art in society could do. I hope this film informs, entertains and inspires.”
