Acting Like Women
Cheri Gaulke
Documentary : 90’ / Performance, Art & Artists, Women, Activism

Revisiting the groundbreaking feminist performance art movement in 1970s Los Angeles, one feminist artist spotlights the inspirational, transformational, radical community exploding the narrative and status quo. Through interviews, archival footage, and personal reflections, Cheri Gaulke revisits the foundational art space of the city at that time, The Woman’s Building, laying bare how a collective of artists transformed their bodies and voices in performance into a powerful tool for activism, reshaping the cultural landscape for generations of women.
