April 22 | Writing & Performing Tasty Songs with Christylez Bacon

Thursday, April 22 | 2:30 – 3pm

Join us as we hear from Christylez (Chris-Styles) Bacon, GRAMMY® Nominated Progressive Hip-Hop artist and multi-instrumentalist, as he leads a workshop using Hip-Hop songwriting to create a snapshot of cultural culinary staples. Participants will gain an understanding of the timing, song structure, rhythm, history, and rhyming that led to the globalization of Hip-Hop and its influence on other musical styles.  Get your pen and paper ready!
 
This month our Take Time Thursdays will be about food in conjunction with ACM’s year-long theme, “Our Food Our Future.” This year long examination of food history, culture, and justice includes the exhibit, “Food for the People: Eating and Activism in Greater Washington” and related programs designed to educate and encourage audiences to take action to create a more equitable future.
