Rimas, Ritmos y Reinas is dedicated to amplifying Latinx voices through recording, storytelling, music production, and creative entrepreneurship—creating pathways for artists to share their stories, strengthen their skills, and build lasting creative communities. 🖊️Rimas, Ritmos y Reinas👸🏽 She-sh Studio Sessions Los Angeles Hosted by The Horizon Records After a successful start of our sessions in Paris, The Horizon Records is bringing its She-sh Studio Sessions to Los Angeles with a special edition: **Rimas, Ritmos y Reinas**. A recording studio experience for women creatives where poetry, music, storytelling, rhythm, and community come together. This interactive session combines a masterclass, hands-on learning, collaboration, and recording opportunities inside a professional studio environment at Pirates Studios. Whether you're a poet, singer, songwriter, beatmaker, storyteller, creative entrepreneur, or simply someone who has always wanted to explore recording, this space is designed for you. Together we will: • Learn the foundations of self-recording and studio recording • Explore songwriting, spoken word, rhythm, and storytelling techniques • Create beats and soundscapes inspired by Latin, African, Arab, flamenco, hip-hop, and diasporic traditions • Receive live feedback and creative coaching • Collaborate with fellow artists in real time • Have the opportunity to record your own poem, story, song, or creative piece • Connect with a supportive community of women and femme creatives No experience is required. Beginners and experienced artists are welcome. Participants will receive a two hour session including a beat making masterclass and a group/ individual recording session, where artists own their own work. Inspired by Indigenous wisdom, Hispanic heritage, Latin culture, and traditions of gathering through music, poetry, storytelling, and celebration, Rimas, Ritmos y Reinas is about reclaiming our voices, honoring our roots, and building confidence through recording and artistic expression. As part of our Summer Semiannual Creative Momentum Initiative, all attendees will receive: • Complimentary 15-minute monthly creative check-in calls through the end of the year to support accountability, creative growth, and goal achievement • A special discount on The Horizon Records' online Self-Recording and Beatmaking Programs conducted via Zoom • Access to a growing network of artists, poets, musicians, and creatives committed to supporting one another's work These ongoing opportunities are designed to help participants continue developing their creative skills long after the session ends and to ensure that ideas become completed projects. The mission of Rimas, Ritmos y Reinas and The Horizon Records is to expand access to recording, production, and creative development opportunities while helping amplify underrepresented voices and stories that deserve to be heard. More than a workshop, this is an opportunity to join an ongoing creative community rooted in collaboration, cultural exchange, artistic growth, and mutual support. At The Horizon Records, we believe: **The rhythm holds memory. The voice holds power. The sound creates connection.** Join us for an afternoon of creativity, learning, recording, and community. **Create. Record. Collaborate. Rise.** Los Angeles • Pirates Studios Limited spots available.

Sat, Oct 31, 2:30 AM

From ａｒｔ！Ａｒｔ！！ＡＲＴ！！！ The Seven Arts ．．．ＡｒｔｓＭｅｅｔｕｐＧｒｏｕｐ

4.6

live baking + audience chaos + special guests + questionable decisions ### **Bake Stuff with Lindsay** The most unhinged baking show you’ve never seen. Bake Stuff with Lindsay is a live, audience-immersive baking experience where chaos is encouraged and we actually eat the results. It’s a fever dream for anyone who’s ever wished TV bakers would loosen up, get messier, and curse a little (a lot) more. Along the way, we attempt to answer important questions like: Do feelings matter more than the recipe? and Does the 5 second rule count with liquids too? **What to expect:** *• Live baking (in real time, with real stakes)* *• Audience involvement throughout the show (games, prizes, FUN)* *• \*SPECIAL GUESTS\*, commentary, and mild spiraling* *• Questionable decisions, emotional detours, and laughter* *• Dessert served (assuming nothing is completely destroyed)* **Theme: HALLOWEEN TREATS** Featuring: Kyle Ayers (Sous Chef) and a panel of special guests! * **\*\*You must buy your ticket through the Eventbrite page [HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bake-stuff-with-lindsay-live-bakingcomedy-show-dessert-tickets-2002971464569) \*\***

AI, Art & Vibecoding - StrangeNew.World @ 310 Coffee

Fri, Oct 30, 10:00 PM

From AI, Art & Vibecoding - StrangeNew.World

5.0

We frame ourselves as **"a support group for the technological singularity"** and we are an eclectic mix of open-minded thinkers, artists, and tinkerers who believe in embracing the emerging technologies and capabilities in the most humanitarian way possible. Our meetings have a super casual and open atmosphere where all are welcome to contribute. Feel free to come late or leave early. So whether you're an AI enthusiast or skeptic, a creative professional already using AI on the daily, or someone just starting their first vibe coding project, this group may be for you! **NOW NEW & IMPROVED** We are doing "Hack-a-salons" after every meeting (starting at 5pm) now that 310 Coffee is staying open later. So please bring your laptops or art projects, or works in progress that you have questions on or want to present to the group. No podiums... only passion projects, good people and great vibes! ☺️ **What to Expect** Interesting conversations, relevant content, and educational resources. We are a diverse community of people who want to help each other and the world around us. We meet in person once a week at **310 Coffee in Culver City from 3-5pm**, we share our work and interesting news in our Whatsapp group, put on remote Learning Labs, go to events together, and encourage our members (who have the availability) to participate in a learning collective where we can volunteer to give each other one-on-one crash courses in various artistic, technical, and entrepreneurial disciplines. Here is a list of what we can teach: [https://strangenew.world/labs/what-we-know](https://strangenew.world/labs/what-we-know) We also encourage each of our members to take on a Passion Project, which could be as simple as getting up and running with a new artistic medium or project, or as complex as laying the groundwork for your dream business or career. We believe there has never been a better time (at least in OUR lifetimes) to set your sights on what your ideal life would be two years from now and then just start moving toward it. And maybe we can help you do that by giving you the hand-holding you need to get over that first hump, which can sometimes be the most difficult part. **How to Give Back** If you are a member looking to give back, or if you like what our organization is doing, then please follow, subscribe, rate us, and smash that like! 🤣 I know it seems silly to many of you, but in the attention economy, just the act of following us, liking our posts, and reviewing our events can make a huge difference in how the algorithm shines upon us. Also, if you would like to support us in a more direct way, please consider giving us a one-time donation, subscribing to one of our tiers, or sponsoring us. We pay for a lot of stuff out of pocket, so please consider becoming a patron to support the overall longevity of our group and vision. [https://strangenew.world/support-us](https://strangenew.world/support-us) **More Information** What we explore during our meetings really depends on who shows up and what they want to discuss: * The changing job market. What skills will matter in 10 years * The future of business and the creative industries * Chatbots, LLMs, and Agentic Workflows * Using AI for scientific or artistic exploration * Will generative art destroy Hollywood or save it? * What is consciousness? What constitutes intelligence? * The various types/platforms of vibecoding and which is best for your project * The end of capitalism as we know it * Are we entering the 2nd Cognitive Revolution? **Learn more at: [https://strangenew.world](https://strangenew.world)**
