This workshop was originally developed for women. It will be open to anyone, but will focus on how women can become DJ’s. The purpose is to de-mystify the art of DJ-ing since popular culture tends to define DJ-ing as an exclusively male art form. The workshop will introduce participants to the art of DJ-ing, providing hands on information and experience. For instance, participants will learn about DJ terminology, equipment, and instructions for when one first gets offered a gig.

Workshop Instructors:
DJ Emancpadion (rjemancipacion.com) daws inspiration through sound from people’s movements for freedom and liberation. She takes you on a journey through Africa (her homeland) via Chicago (her birthplace), tracing tribal roots, future dubs, and lots of soul. She will dance you through deep African house to cumbia and dancehall to classic R&B, all the while paying homage to the liberation songs of the people.

DJ Rumorosa's sound is Tropical and Nuevo Latino with an
emphasis on the Cumbia dissemination from Colombia to Peru, Argentina, Chicano, and Mexican Cumbia. She also focuses on electronic/ soulful house, international and classic hip hop, reggaeton, dancehall, salsa, disco and funk and music that moves the body and soul.
