AZ ArtWorker: Shining Soul
Jun 3 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm

On First Firday, June 3, Phoenix Art Museum will present host Shining Soul and Friends, featuring live rap performance by Tohono O’odham youth of Baboquivari High School.

Throughout the past month, these young artists from Topowa participated in a five-week AZ ArtWorker workshop with Shining Soul, a duo of teaching artists/professional musicians who teach Hip Hop as a medium for bringing forth positive growth and balance in one’s life

Shining Soul offered students from Baboquivari High School an intermediate curriculum focused on the four steps of Beat production: digging, sampling, sequencing and song arrangement. The workshop also provided information on Hip Hop’s origins and elements, including Hip Hop’s tradition of creative and generative response to social inequality.

AZ ArtWorker is a program of the Arizona Commission on the Arts, funded by the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation.
