B-Girl Be: A Celebration of Women in Hip-Hop is an annual multimedia festival encompassing the four elements of hip-hop: MCing, DJing, break dancing and graffiti. Created by Intermedia Arts in 2005, B-Girl Be: A Celebration of Women in Hip-Hop was the first international female-focused hip-hop summit in history. Since its inception, this wildly successful multidisciplinary summit has brought over 200 international, national and local girls and women in hip-hop together in Minneapolis for dialogues, art-making, screenings, performances, workshops and networking opportunities. The annual four-day summit showcases women’s aesthetic vision and creative leadership in hip-hop through live performances, fashion, films, videos, workshops and panels.
The mission of B-Girl Be is to influence and inspire leadership to change the perceptions and roles of women in hip-hop for current and future generations.
Founding Curators: DeAnna Cummings, Desdamona, Leah Nelson, Melisa Riviere and Theresa Sweetland.
