Femina Potens

Femina Potens, which means “powerful woman” in Latin, is a community-building multidisciplinary arts space at Sanchez and Market Streets. Since 2003, Femina Potens has organized almost 450 performing, visual, literary, media arts, educational and public arts programs that have authentically explored the experiences of queer, women, transgender people and others living outside the female-male gender binary. Since moving to the Castro in mid- 2007, Femina Potens has established the first high-visibility arts space that has interwoven the arts into the fabric of neighborhood life.
