About Lady Brain Presents
HOW IT BEGAN
In December 2018, Lindsay White, in an effort to thwart her rage over the 2016 election, to nurture her life and friendships in the moment, and to overcome the isolation of being an artist in a digital world, invited a handful of the most creative and hard-working womxn/women-identifying folks she knew over for a casual brunch in her living room. The group shared stories about the joys and pains of being an artist, navigating business, digital spaces, societal expectations, burnout, and more. It was a vulnerable and transformative experience with a consensus that continuing to meet in safe physical spaces and to pool resources would be beneficial to everyone. The Lady Brain Collective was born.

MEMBERSHIP
Please visit the Join page to find out about becoming a Lady Brain Collective member. We welcome any woman/womxn-identifying and/or non binary, gender non-conforming creative based San Diego. We are committed to creating an open, safe, and educational space for all members and partners. This includes acknowledging, confronting, and utilizing our own privilege to help shine a light on the voices and stories that go unheard within so many communities.
EVOLUTION & COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL JUSTICE
Since our inception in late 2018, we have been committed to carving out a place for our members by creating opportunities where they didn’t already exist, exposing the community to our members’ work, and offering assistance/resistance to health and social justice matters affecting our membership and communities. Our membership consists of so many voices and forms of expression, and we lift up these voices artistically via our monthly, member-led community gatherings. Lady Brain’s very existence is a social and political statement; our work speaks for itself. However, the coronavirus pandemic and the unfortunate continuation of Black lives being cut short at the hands of police and others directly violate the safety of our members and threaten
our vision and mission. As long as this collective exists, we will continue to educate ourselves, each other, and the community on social justice issues and commit to using our platform, our voices, and our art to speak out against injustice and oppression in all its forms.
