DJ Scholarship: On Curating Content, Community and Liberation
DJ Lynnée Denise coined the phrase ‘DJ Scholarship’ as a way to re-position the role of the DJ from a party purveyor to a community archivist, cultural custodian and information specialist of music with critical value. In this evening's conversation DJ Lynnée Denise, will be joined by Naima Cochrane an award-winning music industry veteran, journalist, and leading voice in Black music, whose "#MusicSermon" quickly grew into a source of communal nostalgia for an intergenerational group of music lovers around the world. In addition, these two music veterans, IDA welcomes Arielle Williams '22 a recent Stanford alum and IDA Creative Honors Thesis student whose work on campus created more inclusive party spaces for women and gender non-conforming students of color on campus.
