The Art of DJing with Chiquita Brujita

Join Chiquita Brujita for a workshop that will introduce participants to the art of DJing as both creative and archival practice. Through hands on-mixing and record selection, attendees will learn how to build sets they reflect personal, family, and cultural histories. The workshop will explore how music, art and memory intertwine, using DJing as a medium for storytelling and cultural preservation.
