At Bonnaroo's SheROO, attendees didn't have to worry about homophobic camping neighbors or the predatory gaze.
Bonnaroo's thing is"good vibes." You hear it everywhere, and festival attendees do their best to embody it by giving high-fives to strangers, helping each other out back at the campgrounds, and making friends within moments of meeting.
That's where SheROO comes in. For the second year, Laura Wise, founder of MOTHERSHIP Festival, has teamed up with Bonnaroo to"bring their experience as an inclusive community of women, claiming our power through workshops, art, and music to The Farm," per the original announcement.
Each camper I talked to mentioned the space was also more body positive, something I'd already noticed. In the multiple times I'd wandered into SheROO from the general camping areas, it was evident that individuals were able to be much more comfortable and open, changing and applying sunscreen to bare bodies without the worry of a predatory gaze.
For now, SheROO is meant to cater to all who don't identify as men, but perhaps with a hopeful growth of SheROO , there could be space made for more communities to find the same sort of sanctuary.
