Femme 4 Femme (F4F)
2016 - 2019
F4F is a domestic venue. We cultivate a femme community, we center blackness, and we expand upon understandings of what domestic space can be. We are artists, writers, performers, educators and healers. We have deep desires to bridge a gap between the Chicago artist transplant community and those that have been here already.
