Please join us for the Willie Mae Rock Camp’s 2nd Annual Arts & Activism showcasing the 2016 fellows’ podcasts. Refreshments will be provided and DJ Zena will spin some tunes!
Designed as an after-school program for teen women (transgender and cisgender), and gender non-binary youth, Arts & Activism held its first class in the spring of 2015. Focused on developing media skills, building community, and exploring the intersections of art and activism, participants attend DJ instruction classes and by creating a podcast, engage in study of the role of music in social justice.
As part of the if a song could be freedom…Organized Sounds of Resistance exhibition, we invited musicians, activists organizers to curate a mixtape on a theme and genre of their choice. Here is the current collection of those which have been released! Listen up!
