Women in the Mix: Hip Hop’s Voices, Beats & Breakthroughs

Join us for an electrifying celebration of women in hip-hop at the Lehman College Outdoor Amphitheater on April 8th at 4 PM. In the heart of the Bronx—the birthplace of hip-hop—witness the convergence of two extraordinary talents shaping the culture.

Experience an intimate conversation with international hip-hop powerhouse Audry Funk, a Mexican Bronx-based artist known for her conscious rap and activist spirit, alongside legendary audio engineer and producer Angela Piva, whose Grammy-nominated work has amplified the voices of icons like Queen Latifah and Mary J. Blige.

The evening features a candid discussion exploring the intersection of hip-hop, feminism, and cultural identity, drawing from both artists' remarkable journeys. Audry Funk, celebrating two decades of breaking boundaries in the global hip-hop scene, will close the night with a live performance showcasing her signature blend of sharp lyricism and powerful storytelling.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to engage with two pioneering women who have shaped the sound and spirit of hip-hop. From Audry's journey from Puebla to the Bronx, to Angela's three decades of excellence behind the mixing board, their stories embody the transformative power of hip-hop culture.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of conversation, music, and inspiration in the borough where it all began!

This event is free and open to the public, and followed by a live performance by Audry Funk and DJ Kay Kay 47 after the Q/A
