Join NC State University Libraries for an opportunity to explore the history of femme beat-making in the lives of African American girls and women. During the Black History Month Femme Beat-Making Showcase and Workshop, you will learn about early beat-making techniques like double dutch and contemporary forms of beat-making using digital media and technology. You also can engage with technology and music creation using tools like GarageBand and Serato.

Femme Beat-Making is part of the Femme Space event series, which includes Femme Game Night and Femme-Making Night. The series opens up traditionally male-dominated or male-centric activities and spaces to women and those who identify as feminine or nonbinary and their allies. It includes gaming sessions and a variety of other opportunities in a fun and welcoming atmosphere of sharing and community building.
