Joanie 4
Jackie, a video art project comprising "chainletters and zines," was established
by interdisciplinary artist Miranda July in 1995 and later continued by students at Bard
College. An active participant in the Riot Grrrl scene in the 1990s, July was frustrated by
the lack of girls and women creating film and video -- particularly women of color, Queer
women, women of lower socioeconomic strata, and older women -- and sought to remedy their
absence with a project that embraced the "DIY" ethos of the Riot Grrrl subculture. The
collection comprises over 300 videos, zines, and supporting materials collected, compiled,
and circulated as part of the Joanie 4 Jackie project, as
well as editing masters and videos documenting Joanie 4
Jackie events and media coverage. Also present are administrative files,
correspondence relating to the project, posters, and ephemera.
