Heresies Magazine

Video (3:15): A short film about the Heresies magazine and the founders of the magazine by On This Spot NYC (2024).

Heresies was a feminist publication on arts and politics run by artists and writers in SoHo. Twenty-seven issues were published between 1977 and 1993, each devoted to a single topic such as: Lesbian Art and Artists; Third-World Women; Feminism and the Environment. All the women donated their time, loft space, and professional expertise. In what became consciousness-raising sessions, they debated definitions of art and feminism and called for the end of the art world’s patriarchy. They referred to themselves as The Mother Collective. – On This Spot NYC
