Phranc

Phranc The All-American Jewish Lesbian Folksinger is an internationally acclaimed performer and visual artist whose work uses both humor and anger to interrogate traditional gender perspectives. She writes, records, performs and creates paper sculptures that tell stories, document history, honor Amazons and protest injustice. She has forged her butch identity in cardboard, on stage and on album covers. As a teenager she attended The Feminist Studio Workshop at The Woman’s Building where she focused on songwriting and silk-screening. In the late 1970s she was a member of bands Nervous Gender and Catholic Discipline in the Los Angeles punk rock scene. She has performed in venues across North America, Great Britain and Europe including The Getty Center, Irving Plaza, Metropol, and Hammersmith Odeon. She is a Teaching Artist at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Phranc is currently working on a multi-media memoir “Phranc Talk”.
