Mission Statement

The Push Pops are a radical, transnational queer feminist art collective. Geared toward engendering ‘Embodied Feminism,’ Go! Push Pops employs the female body – that which is bound to a cross-cultural language of desire, signification and power – in tactical, ideological strategy. Go! Push Pops utilize gesture, exclamation and popular idiom to embody a new age discursive physicality interfacing with the ancient archetypal realm. Neo-Dada, Fluxist and Feminist, their performance work posits the body as a danger to the operation of reason and patriarchal economy of lack. A wild leap, an elusive slogan, a paroxysm of the flesh – The Push Pops reinscribe the body through participatory ritual, spontaneous performance and interactive multi-media installation.

START FUNDRAISING NOW!!
A PROJECT FOR SUMMER 2012

Please join the Push Pop in our fundraising effort for the Oral History of Ice Cream. Our largest project to date, The Push Pop Collective’s 'Oral History of Ice Cream’ is a mobile, interdisciplinary performative work. Driving across the United States in a customized ice cream truck the Push Pops will provide free ice cream to residents of New Orleans, Santa Fe, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle as they collect an audio archive of American ice cream stories during the summer of 2012. The trip will culminate in a workshop at Reel Grrls Seattle, a non-profit for empowering young women through media production.


We are proud to announce that our recent fiscal sponsorship by the New York Foundation for the Arts makes your donation to the project fully tax deductible.
