DYKON= Dyke Icon

The word dyke has a complex history. Once used as a slur against lesbians, it has been reclaimed by many as a political and chosen identity across queer communities. Today, people who identify with the term include lesbians, trans dykes, nonbinary people, masc and femme identities, and others who feel connected to the word’s history and cultural significance.

As we develop the Dyke HERstory Dance Tour, Sarah Bush Dance Project is committed to engaging this history with care, curiosity, and openness. We recognize that the word carries different meanings and experiences for different people.

DYKON Story Hour is intended as an inclusive, intergenerational space for listening, storytelling, and dialogue. Our goal is to honor the many people and communities who have shaped dyke culture and queer history in the Bay Area, while making room for conversation about how language, identity, and community continue to evolve.
