September Liberation Series
First Fridays, or Liberation Series, is a monthly, artist-led, community-building gathering hosted in our Bed-Stuy storefront. Each season is guided by an artist working at the intersection of culture, imagination, and collective power. Our theme for Fall is Joy is a Rhythm, where we embody collective joy with LP alum Fei Li at Accented Projects and cultural organizers born and raised in New York to practice rap, R&B, game, somatic movement, and hip-hop dance. Together, we’ll create joy through art, culture, and belonging across generations and diasporas.
On September 11, you’re invited to learn about Bed-Stuy’s rap history with JMacDonough, a rapper and organizer born and raised in Bed-Stuy. Then, you’ll learn the basics of writing bars over beats. Enjoy live performances from invited artists, then spit your new bars as they pass the mic to you! The season begins the way the tradition began: neighbors passing a verse.
Free food and refreshments will be provided.
