What is B-Girl Be? |
|
|
B-Girl Be is an annual summit and series of events, workshops, exhibits and performances that celebrate women in hip-hop (break dance, turntablism, aerosol art, and rap). Now in its third year, B-Girl Be is known as the first international female-focused hip-hop summit in history. B-Girl Be was founded and is directed by a collaborative team of five women who each bring a particular skill, experience or perspective to the table - DeAnna Cummings (Visual Arts Curator), Desdamona (Performance Curator), Leah Nelson (Dance Curator), Melisa Riviere (Aerosol Art Curator / Project Manager) and Theresa Sweetland (Artistic Director of Intermedia Arts). Curators birthed B-Girl Be two years ago through Intermedia Arts. |
