Whassup, this looks like a cool event. It's called Diversifying Hip Hop: Krip Hop and Homo Hop, and I read about it in an Indybay article here. It's a day of movies, speakers and music. Two documentaries will be shown: "Halfsoulja" and "Pick Up the Mic: the Revolution of Homohop." The participants are queer, disabled, African-American, or an interesting combination thereof. I can't wait.
It's put together by Leroy Moore, founder of the Hip Hop Project, and the community relations director of Sins Invalid. This free event is taking place at UC Berkeley's Worth Ryder Gallery in Kroeber Hall, and it's sponsored by the Disability Studies Program, Dance and Performance Studies Program, and African Diaspora Studies Program. Whew, talk about multi-disciplinary.
A friend and I started a Yahoogroup for lesbians with disabilities, and so we're going to give a short talk and let people know we're out there as a resource.
