Party Promotion as an Organizing Tool

Scheduling
Session Description: 

Presenters: Mary Dee and Aiko Shirakawa, 5th Element

More and more people are reclaiming party and music spaces to nurture a transformative music movement. What are the sustainable economic models of party promotion and event production that support positive and progressive agendas? How can we create more of these transformed spaces across the country? How do organizers improve their skill in putting events together? Can organizations pair with promoters to create these kinds of spaces?

This workshop will highlight the experiences of 5th Element,a collective of women who use hip hop to challenge sexism and misogyny by producing shows and workshops highlighting positive artists. Participants will leave with practical, innovative approaches to throwing parties and booking shows that will apply within any music scene.
