Street Heroines--the feature-length documentary on the courage and creativity of female street artists--will screen in the heart of Brooklyn at the Nitehawk Cinema. The event takes place on Wednesday, September 14 and Tuesday, September 20 in the trendy neighborhood of Williamsburg.
Following TooFly, Fusca, and Magrela, Street Heroines captures the spirit of female street artists from around the world, shining a light on their creative expression and their mission to overcome sexism through art. Punctuated by historical anecdotes from pioneering NY-based artists Lady Pink, Swoon, Lady Aiko, Claw Money, and iconic graffiti photographer Martha Cooper, Street Heroines is the first-of-its-kind documentary to capture the collective outcry of female street artists from around the world.
