FreeThe Grandma Reporter is a collaboratively made publication about senior women’s culture across the Earth. The 32-page Intimacy issue explores a taboo subject via multidisciplinary projects, presenting perspectives that are playful, humorous, celebratory and poignant.
The launch party features an Intimacy Manifesto, fashion line, Senior Women’s Erotica Club, gentle dancing, readings, activities, refreshments and more! Copies of the issue will be available at sliding scale.
*** A women only discussion circle on intimacy will be held during the second hour (all women welcome, including cis, gay, lesbian, bi or trans).
Come regardless of age! bring an older friend! The publication will be disseminated at senior centers and available for worldwide distribution.
