ROE ROE ROE YOUR BUTT OUT

Roe Roe Roe… is The Bridge Initiative’s effort to amplify those who wish to share as we process the repeal of Roe v. Wade on our lives and world. Cultivated through an open submission process overseen by Bridge core artists, we will release these offerings through our digital platforms on a rolling basis. We aim to reflect the current moment when we all, women, men, and gender non-conforming citizens, have been denied dominion over our own bodies, and recognize our very democracy is at stake.

From Bridge’s Artistic DIrector, Brenda Jean Foley :

Submission Details:

LENGTH:
2-4 Minutes

GENRE:
Stories, short plays, musings, songs, thoughts, ideas, sketches…Whatever you want, but it must be original material or fair use. You can submit recordings or scripts for us to record on your behalf. We will distribute chosen pieces The Bridge Initiative’s digital platforms.

CONTENT:
The Bridge Initiative supports a myriad of views and thoughts on all topics and subject matter, and we broadly support self-expression. But we will not accept materials that actively promote and support the dismantling of a person’s agency over their physical and mental well-being.

FORMAT:
Please submit material as a PDF manuscript, mp3, mp4, .png, or .gif. All submissions can be uploaded here.

RIGHTS:
Artists hold all rights to the material. The Bridge Initiative reserves the right to record and distribute said recording of your piece, or distribute a recording you provide, with the addition of any organizational intro/outro which may include project-related details including event promotion.

COMPENSATION:
Any funds raised with this project will go to support THE NATIONAL NETWORK OF ABORTION FUNDS and to cover costs for this and similar future projects from The Bridge Initiative.

Individual artists will not be compensated. However all artists involved will receive comp tickets to our town hall event, promotion and listing with the other artists raising their voices on this issue, digital copies of your work as distributed for this project, and copies of any promotional materials.

Please contact Artistic Director Brenda Foley with any questions or press inquiries. Brenda@bridgeinit.org
