Monday Morning Musica y Moviemiento : All the Ladies Say
7:49 am By Maegan la Mamita Mala · Culture| Events| Movies| Music| New York City| Women| dance| history · No Comments
2 Nov 2009The history of hip hop is often told in a male voice and from a male point of view. The role of mujeres, from MC’s to B Girls, is told as an aside. Enter the legendary Rokafella, a figure I knew growing up, as an example of fierceness, presenting a new documentary that highlights the lives of six street dancers exploring motherhood, sexual tension, femininity versus masculinity and the rap industry/mainstream images.
This coming Saturday at BAAD!, in the Bronx, NY you can catch a sneak peek screening of All the Ladies Say. The event includes performances by guest artists and photos by Vanessa Bahmani and Emily Lady Caprice. This event is a fundraiser to support the completion of the film and will be followed by an after party with an open jam.
As the 30 Days of Latino Heritage continues (don’t forget to submit something to the tumblr site Maegan created!), highlights from the Bronx Academy of Art and Dance (BAAD!) BlakTino Series have been captured! BAAD!’s goal with the BlakTino Series is to represent the African and indeginous communities that are often forgotten/ignored/excluded in the Latino experience/history/heritage.
If you missed the first two programs, one of Queer BlakTino Cartoonists/Illustrators and Erika Lopez’s performance, check out the videos below which are both from GRITtv with Laura Flanders.
Queering The Lines of Cartoons features Jennifer Camper, Carlo Quispe, and Erika Lopez who were three of four artist on the panel. Ivan Velez, Jr. was not able to attend the interview but was present on the panel. Visit the Bronx News Network site to see fotos of the panel!
Below is a clip from the first part of Erika Lopez’s “Nothing Left But The Smell” one-woman show about her experiences as a Black-Puerto Rican Bisexual Artist and how she realized and coped with her new identity: Welfare Queen. Some language in the video is Not Safe For Work (NSFW).
