Lynnée Denise, a global practitioner of sound, language, and Black Atlantic thought, is an Amsterdam-Johannesburg-based writer and interdisciplinary artist from Los Angeles, California. Influenced by her parents’ record collection and the sonic experimentation of the 1980s, her work traces the migrations of music and the role of Black electronic traditions in the African Diaspora. In 2013, she coined the term DJ Scholarship to describe how knowledge is gathered, interpreted, and produced through a conceptual and theoretical framework, shifting the role of the DJ from party purveyor to archivist and cultural worker. A doctoral student in the Department of Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths, University of London, Denise’s research explores how sound system culture creates a living archive for the Black queer diaspora.
