CAROL NEWHOUSE AND CARMEN WINANT
DOUBLE

“Is it possible to leave everything behind? Is it possible to begin again, outside and beyond every system of living you’ve ever known, reinventing what it means (and looks like) to exist as a body and soul on the land?” These questions shaped Carmen Winant’s exploration of radical reinvention, particularly within the context of the lesbian separatist communities of the 1970s. Through this process, Winant connected with Carol Newhouse, co-founder of WomanShare, a lesbian feminist community on the West Coast of the United States.
