100 Mile Riot is an all-day, all-night festival celebrating the amazing diversity of talent of woman-identified people from Guelph and surrounding area. The festival is a fundraiser for the local Women in Crisis Centre as well as a revolutionary national program in Haiti, lead by a coalition of women activists, that is addressing sexual violence through art, advocacy, safe shelter, and legal services. This festival will be organized in collaboration with the V-Day campaign, which was started by activist Eve Ensler. V-Day has raised over $60 million and distributed the funds to grassroots, national and international organizations and programs that work to stop violence against women and girls through yearlong events such as this festival and culminating performances of The Vagina Monologues and MMRP (A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant, and a Prayer). We hope to shine a spotlight on the amazing artists in our community making their own kind of noise. Performances by: Sheezer Rouge Jenny Omnichord Olenka & The Autumn Lovers The Folk Sarah Mangle D Eve Archer Ariadne's Thread Amy Bronson Nabi Loney Dj Jungle Cat Madam D Meme Smith And many more TBA! The festival begins Saturday January 21 at 3PM at Van Gogh's Ear in Guelph and runs to the wee hours.
