QUEER WEAVERS in tha HAUS- Event


QUEER


A Group art exhibition featuring Damali Abrams, Pauli Cakes, Elisa Garcia de la Huerta, UNDAKOVA, Julia Sinelnikova, Greem Jellyfish, Andy Boyce, Fran Ledonio Flaherty & Susannah Simpson

curated by Katie Cercone
QUEER WEAVERS brings together spiritually nomadic sex-positive radicals working in the mediums of fabric, installation, herbalism, healing, new media, glitch, sound and ritual performance. Conjuring Queen Crone, Sacred Whore, Devouring Mother, Gangsta Bitch and Virile Beast, these freaks of gypsy-pelvis-sorcery are keen on spiritual bricolage and plant medicine. The mysteries of female biology dominated human religious thought, art and ritual for 200,000 years of life on earth. We are a collective effort led by womxn decolonizing the 6,000 “civilizing” dominator-model years damned by white male patriarchy; rethinking Mother-complexes beyond “sexual-pathology,” and plumbing ancestral fertility cults which venerated organic life cycles in embodied rituals that continually recenter our humanity.

7 Reasons why becoming a member of Beat365 rocks.

As you already might know I go by the alias Undakova (Undercover) and I am beat maker, DJ and MC here in NYC. I have been producing hip hop beats since the 90s and have produced my own hip hop instrumentals for my album created here in New York City. I often get asked by R & B artist and MCs "Can you produce some beats for my album?" One day the question popped up in my head "Where does an artist find great sounding Hip hop, r&b and rap beats that sound so good you play them in your car for fun as well as record song after song with them?" If an artist doesn't have a friend or business partner who is a producer or know how to/ want to produce beats on there own spare time (which can take a lot of time and money) where does he/she find a complete collection of hip hop beats? Well the answer is simple. . . . To find Hip hop, r&b and rap beats that sound so good you play them in your car for fun as well as record song after song with them go to Beats365...

Can somebody say Amen

After a week of seeing different people come in our house and leave our house with smiles on there faces still our sublet process is not complete. I wake up today and meditate my stress's away. Well most of em. Yesterday I spent all day working on a proposal for a school in Washington heights who seem to be interested in having an after-school program formulated by my company Willpowa. Weeks went by and I spent my days working on music and completing songs in the studio only to leave the proposal writing up to a trusted friend and fellow mc. Suffice to say it never got completed due to my energy being scattered amongst recording and subleting my place. Not to mention being a good boyfriend through the process. So turns out my friends from the UK want to look over it this weekend so I will have to submit the proposal in a bit late anyhow but hopefully with more spunk than it had in the first place. Anyway lets just say the only thing that helped me from not having a nervous breakdow...
