Join us for the second installment of All Access Fridays featuring Julz Ilang-Bulan & Nic Masangkay who will lead a songwriting & music production workshop. Those that identify as femme, non-binary, trans, and/or queer/LGB+ are highly encouraged to attend. Please spread the word to young people that you may think could benefit from this workshop.
Julz Ilang-Bulan is a maker of sorts, weaving sounds, shapes, and colors into musical and visual stories. As a storyteller and kultural practitioner, Julz draws inspiration from their Ilokano ancestry and centers on healing, love, grief, diaspora, memory, transformation, and the ocean. Julz believes that storytelling is a sacred way to authentically witness and connect with one another. https://www.facebook.com/julzilangbulan/
Nic Masangkay is a 25-year-old, multiply-marginalized poet, music producer, and singer-songwriter based in Seattle. With poetry Buzzfeed claims “will leave you speechless” and music the Seattle Times reports is "synth-pop with overlaid vocals in the style of Reggie Watts," Nic is incredibly grateful that anybody wants to listen to the art that they create to survive. https://nicmasangkay.bandcamp.com/
All Access Fridays is a new pilot series of music workshops led by femme, non-binary, trans, and/or queer/LGB+ identifying teaching artists. Workshops will take place on select Fridays in Winter and Spring 2018 in the Totem Star studio at Youngstown Cultural Arts Center in West Seattle. This series is free and open to all young people.
