Movement Building through MixedTape with DJ Lynnèe Denise

Leeway and Girls Rock Philly presents Movement Building through MixedTape with DJ Lynnèe Denise. In this class, participants will be introduced to “DJ Scholarship”, a practice that shifts the role of DJ as purveyor of party music to archivist and cultural worker who collects, preserves, and performs the history and music of marginalized communities and their movements. Lynnèe will breakdown the creation of her project, Afro-Digital Migration: House Music in Post Apartheid South Africa. In it, Lynnèe explored how house music took root in South Africa and shaped its national identity in defiance of and resistance to apartheid. Workshop participants will create a mixed tape as a cultural project, and will learn about process steps including documentation, podcasting, publishing and communicating the social value of your project for funding. Sunday, December 6 from 10am-12pm at Mastery Charter School (927 Johnston Street). The workshop is free, but you must RSVP.
