Just for Tonight
Plasmatica with Coup de Foudre
Make glowing, ghostly forms dance at Plasmatica, an ethereal and electrifying work by the art collective Coup de Foudre. In these custom glass columns, a charged interaction between noble gases and electrically excited particles forms luminous filaments that jump, flow, and respond to your touch.
DJ Lady Fingaz from Hip Hop for Change
Get ready to dance your way through the night as DJs from Hip Hop for Change set the vibe and keep the party moving all night! Tonight features DJ Lady Fingaz. Fingaz is a skilled turntablist and member of the infamous Peaches Crew. She can be found rocking parties with Le Femme Deadly Venoms and Jazz Mafia all over the world. As a DJ, she mixes a variety of genres accompanied by an array of show-stopping turntablism and live production. This southern belle knows how to rock a party!
Hip Hop for Change is an Oakland-based nonprofit that uses grassroots activism to educate people about socioeconomic injustices and advocate solutions through hip-hop culture.
