TUESDAY
Jerri Allyn presents a slide lecture of
Sisters o f Survival Anti-nuclear art at
the Berg-Swann Auditorium at the Port­
land Art Museum, 1219 SW Park Ave.
The show is free to the public.
Jerri Allyn is a member of the perform­
ance art group Sisters of Survival
(S.O.S.), which recently completed a
tour of Western Europe where they net­
worked with artists and activists on the
issue of nuclear proliferation. This pre­
sentation consists of over 150 slides of
anti-nuclear artworks by North
American and Western Europeans col­
lected over the past two years as well as
documentation of the Sisters of Survi­
va l's performance and graphic art.
Sisters of Survival was founded in

Gauldin, Cheri Gaulke and Sue May­
berry. In May 1982, in collaboration with
Marguerite Elliot, they staged a public
action in front of Los Angeles City Hall
and the U.S. Federal Building to drama­
tize the absurdity of the Reagan Admin­
istration's civil defense plan for nuclear
war. The performance, entitled "Shovel

television and radio stations and in 22
newspapers and magazines.
This program is sponsored by the
