OMG IT’S NEXT FRIDAY!!!

We have been preparing for this exhibit for like an entire year people…I know crazy long! It takes mad work to put together a “TIGHT” exhibition on an independent level with like no loot, a day job, side gigs, personal life, etc, etc…It’s no easy task. It takes a lot of effort to organize something you care about. The collective has grown to 60 amazing women artists from various backgrounds representing their own individual stylez, ideaz, and skillz. Their work is DOPE!!! this year’s Heart & Soul is a labor of love. Something that flowed and manifested organically. We are extremely proud of this exhibition and hope you get a chance to experience it on opening day. October 17th! Mark your calendars. Don’t forget to cop your own Heart & Soul book which we are exited to have self published! That was a tough one but we did it!!! Shout out to our Younity Team. You guys have gone way and beyond to help spread the message we are so grateful;) love you guys!!!

Thanks to all who believe in YOUNITY and continue to support our community. Spread the love, spread the word…

The We B*Girlz Festival is a multimedia Festival by women for women celebrating the 4 elements of Hip Hop and more. We B*Girlz wants to present a strong role model for adolescent girls. We B*Girlz Productionz wants to show that women mastered skills in all aspects of Hip Hop and have earned a place in Hip Hop history. We will celebrate their creativity with a one month festival in August 2008 in Berlin. Our intention is to provide a platform for girls and young women from different nations and cultural backgrounds to make contacts, exchange ideas, and support each other. We want to teach them new skills, strengthen their confidence and show them the accomplishments of women in all aspects of Hip Hop culture. Within 4 weeks in August 2008, the We B*Girlz Festival will provide the girls with tools to be creative in the different aspects of Hip Hop culture, and will also teach them how to document their own culture through workshops in video editing, photography, and web design etc. During the 4 weeks in August, we will not only have lots of workshops, but also exhibitions, concerts, club nights, a filmfestival etc. We will produce a compilation with female artists, a magazine and a DVD.
