These photos revolve around women, raw meat, and the sale of raw meat; they’re intended to provoke thoughts of gender roles and machismo, as well as to highlight something women oftenexperience existing in such a society (be it the US or Mexico): feeling like a piece of meat.

The market is the woman’s domain; women tend to not only be the vendors, but the shoppers as well. The markets are where I felt most at home in Oaxaca, probably because the strong presence of women made me feel protected from the wandering eyes of men.

FRI 2.28 Ariella Aïsha Azoulay in conversation with Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa WaterFire Arts Center 6:30 PM

SAT 2.29 Leap Year Boogie: DEYO and Friends AS220 8 PM

Ariella Azoulay will discuss Potential History, her new book on the imperial foundations of knowledge, with writer and photographer Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa. Come hear Azoulay and Wolukau-Wanambwa speak about anti-imperialist archival and artistic practices.

On Leap Day, Amy Adams is allowed to propose to a man, being born sucks, and Yllwblly and and Charm will be opening for DEYO at AS220! It’s your last chance before 2024 to dance this particular night away, so make some memories. If you post something embarrassing on Facebook, you have a buffer of several years before it reminds you what happened! MONDAY 3.2 PVDFest Battle of the Bands Alchemy, 71 Richmond St. 7:30 PM At the first of three Battles of the Bands leading up to PVDFest, Guess Method, Fathercard, and Jesse Ramos of Tree People will face off at Alchemy. This LW has never attended a Battle of the Bands, but judging from the ending of School of Rock, this oughta be good. SUN 3.1 2020 PPS Winter Bash: Studio 54 Bucklin Plaza 7:30 PM Your two problematic faves are teaming up! Join the Providence Preservation Society—perhaps the only remaining nonprofit in Providence with a serif typeface logo—for a Studio 54-themed bash. Andy Warhol’s leveling of high and low art offers a potentially antithetical backdrop to the PPS, which itself has a reputation for preserving cornices and red brick more so than the discarded bagels and sex manuals that populate the Warhol archive. Tickets start at $45 for the benefit, which supports the PPS’s efforts (including advocating for the reuse of the vacant Superman Building, among other pursuits). TUESDAY 3.3 of Montreal, Lily's Band, Ravi Shavi Columbus Theatre 8 PM

WEDNESDAY 3.4 WTF Night Recycle-A-Bike 6-9PM It’s time to haul your bike out of the basement and bring it over to Eagle Square to get a spring tune up. “We're gonna be cleaning, tuning up brakes, lubing chains, filling up tires,” says Recycle-A-Bike. The best part is that the whole thing is free! We can’t recommend a spring ride in PVD enough, so tune your sh*t up!!! THURSDAY 3.5 Trial Support for Sherrie New Bedford District Court 8:30 AM-5 PM Come out to support Sherrie Andre, co-founder of the FANG Collective. They are going to trial as a result of an August 2018 action at the Bristol County House of Corrections held in solidarity with people in I.C.E. detention who launched a hunger strike to demand better conditions at the facility. Email support@shutdownicenow.org to submit a letter of support. Last time the List advertised a concert at the Columbus, this LW noted that the audience was sure to include every middle-school social studies teacher in RI. This time, the West End’s entire population of former MySpace hipsters who now wear their geometric tattoos with great ambivalence will be present.
