August 13th, 2017 Techne Benefit! TALsounds, Suzanne Thorpe & Bonnie Jones, Lyle-Marino-Young @ Constellation 8:30PM | Facebook Event

TECHNE BENEFIT! All proceeds from this concert go to support exciting new TECHNE initiatives in Chicago!

TECHNE is an organization founded in 2010 by Suzanne Thorpe and Bonnie Jones. TECHNE’s programs introduce young women and girls to technology-focused art making, musical improvisation, critical listening and community collaboration. As part of our objective to embed social justice activism into our work, TECHNE delivers our programming through partnerships with local, grassroots arts organizations that share an aligned commitment to racial and gender equity.

TECHNE creates environments that encourage identity exploration, critical thinking, experimentation, and creative expression. Our programs use project-based interaction, critical listening and social activism within community collaborations with a belief that these activities engender agency with technology, as well as opportunities for alternative conceptions and configurations of self in marginalized populations.
