Pick up the Mic By ForYourArt

Pick Up the Mic: A Night of Feminist + Gender Queer Hip-Hop, Film + Music

Timed to coincide with the new LACMA concert series, Through the Mic, ForYourArt hosted an inaugural musical performance with local members of the underground ‘homohop’/feminist musician community. The event encompassed a screening of Alex Hinton’s 2006 award-winning documentary, Pick up the Mic, and performances by spoken word artist Cihuatl- Ce (formerly of Cihuatl Tonali) and DJ B-Girl.

Hinton’s film features over a dozen of the queer hip-hop scene’s most significant players. Adding to the mixed-media dialogue was Cihuatl- Ce (formerly of Cihuatl Tonali), once a runaway, now a youth advocate/outreach worker who uses music to express the widespread effects of colonization, misogyny and anti-gay rhetoric. DJ B-Girl (of B-Girl Media/Project Blowed) closed the evening with her own performance. Since entering the music scene in 1995 as a self-taught hip-hop electronic dj and producer, DJ B-Girl has been actively involved in the hip-hop community as a teaching artist.

The goal with LACMA’s series, which runs through October, is to bring to light the diverse culture LA hip hop and hip hop artists. Focusing on diversity as well, Pick Up the Mic allowed performers to express themselves while exploring various issues, such as homophobia in the music industry.
