London's DJ Girls talk collaboration, culture, and the future of a vibrant scene.
EPISODE 1 OF ART / WORK
In London the arena feels more open than ever for women to be entering the traditionally male dominated field of music production and DJing. Instances of sexual misconduct and cultural appropriation have marred the UK’s music scene in the past, but MINA and Lil C are optimistic, and their calls for increasing gender, racial and cultural collaboration are a testament unique to London’s virtues as well as its political strifes.

ABOUT ART / WORK
Art is personal expression, political statement, a means of spiritual survival. It is also work, and one of the only occupations which evades the encroaches of technology and automation, remaining human.
Somewhere Films is profiling working artists around the world, considering how they are molded by or rebelling against their environments. Whether an artist upholds tradition or challenges it, their ultimate goal is the same: to continue to work, to survive.
ABOUT SOMEWHERE FILMS
Somewhere Films is a production collective made up of women from London to Los Angeles, who specialize in directing, cinematography, editing, producing, writing and creative direction. We make music videos, narrative short films, NGO promotional videos, and documentaries. We create work responding to professional commissions, crowdfunded projects, and everything in between.
Though each of us has a distinct style and skill set, we share a focus on material that explores the flash points at which cultures intersect, both within our national borders and beyond them.
