Discover this bold new concert series celebrating the raw power of feminist rock, punk, and rap. Inspired by bell hooks’s powerful invitation to “Come closer and you will see: feminism is for everybody” this series features edgy, genre-defying sounds and boundary-pushing voices, inviting music lovers of all kinds to lean in, listen up, and experience something unexpected. Come closer—and hear how feminism moves.   

DEFEM   
Born from two musical couples, DEFEM is an art and music project defined by deep connection and shared vision. Blending synth-driven textures with punk energy, their sound reflects a collaboration rooted in trust, resilience, and creative exploration.  

Tour to the exhibition, Making Moves: A Collection of Feminisms, or enjoy a dj-set from Terra Lopez from 5:30 - 7 PM before Come Closer begins.
