Hey, y'all! I come to you with a brand new project I curated and edited called #POWERVHS, a 60-minute compilation of 9 women & femme video artists (the majority of which are black & brown). The tape features heavy hitters such as Sondra Perry, Nandi Loaf, & Elizabeth Mputu and takes you on a roller coaster ride of psychedelic self confidence, vulnerability, tranquility, and truth.

Here’s the list of artists on the comp!

Hattie Ball
Michelle Marie Charles
Angelina Fernández
Reagan Holiday
María José
Nandi Loaf
Elizabeth Mputu
Sondra Perry
(and me, of course!)

The compilation was originally set to be produced on VHS tapes and released early May to be sold but the man in charge of production pulled on the deal because I had been giving him “attitude”, “ignored technical specifications”, and because I suggested that the contributors be compensated for their labor. Not to be deterred I’m releasing the 720x480 vid for the FREE on Vimeo & for $20 on special edition DVD, a modern medium that will soon be just as obsolete as a VHS cassette.

What we need from you is support in the form of funding to cover the cost of production! A printer that can print directly on discs, a stack of DVDs, cases, and an external disc drive comes up to about $500! Whatever donations are left over from those costs goes directly to the artists 😊

Any donation of $15 or more will get you a complementary DVD that includes exclusive BONUS FOOTAGE that you won’t find on the online version

Donations can be sent to my PayPal
via: https://www.paypal.me/RafiasWorld

I’ll be taking donations until MAY 31st

So please pass this around, reblog, & share to your peoples. Support the craft and the artists behind it and enjoy this trailer to get a taste of what you’re in for!

Thanks for listening ❤
