Referencing the Black British cultural film and video collective Sankofa, Detroit techno, Jamaican dub, and the intersections of race, gender, class, and technology, Denise explores how turntable culture in the 1980s shaped place-based practices and spatial production, generating new sites of knowledge and cultural intervention.
Lynnée Denise
Lynnée Denise is an Amsterdam-based writer and interdisciplinary artist from Los Angeles, California, and a global practitioner of sound, language, and Black Atlantic thought. Shaped by her parents’ record collection and the 1980s, her work foregrounds the intimacies of underground nightclub movements, music migration, and bass culture in the African Diaspora.In 2013, she coined the term DJ Scholarship to explore how knowledge is gathered, interpreted, and produced through a conceptual framework that shifts the role of the DJ from party purveyor to archivist and cultural worker. A doctoral student in Visual Culture at Goldsmiths, University of London, Denise’s research examines how sound system culture builds a living archive and refuge for a Black queer diaspora.
