Carrie Brownstein: Hunger Makes me a Modern Girl

Music was a means of self-invention for Carrie Brownstein. Before becoming a music icon, the Emmy-nominated actor and writer had a turbulent family life. From the moment she bought her first guitar at 15, music became her salvation and a way to find a sense of community. But it was her experiences in the independent music industry that sowed the seeds for the award-winning TV show,Portlandia that she went on to co-create and co-star in. With her band mates from Sleater-Kinney, the industry icon has been redefining notions of gender in rock since the nineties. Join this pioneering feminist punk-rock funny lady for a discussion about finding yourself and your life in music.
