Desdamona Hip Hop Concert & Bean Bag Tournament Collaborative Event at NYM VFW July 27 Desdamona, a spoken word and hip hop artist, will be in concert at the New York Mills VFW Post 3289 on Friday, July 27th at 7:30 p.m. A Bean Bag Tournament hosted by the New York Mills Education Foundation precedes the concert, beginning at 5:00 p.m. Based out of Minneapolis, Desdamona’s writing and performance focuses on themes of domestic violence, self-esteem, individual identity, being an outsider, and being a woman in hip hop. Much of her work touches on social issues. Her sense of rhythm is as strong as her message. She often employs beat-boxing to go with her flowing rhymes and smooth vocals. The mood of her music is at times dark but nonetheless awe-inspiring. Desdamona’s influence reaches students, artists, and activists close to home and abroad. She has worked in over 200 schools throughout the Midwest. And she recently visited a school in France conducting workshops as an artist-in-residence. She has worked with more than 15,000 students in public, private, and alternative schools, as well as colleges, universities, and prisons. Her message is especially relevant in a time of social and political upheaval. Her show […]
