Creative Commons’ Post

Last week, Jennryn Wetzler, our Director of Learning and Training, and Brigitte Vézina, our Director of Policy and Open Culture, hosted a workshop at #WikimaniaNairobi. Participants gained a greater understanding of open licensing and newfound inspiration to contribute to the commons by creating music and building digital collections.  During an interactive activity at the workshop, Jennryn and Brigitte led the group in remixing CC-licensed and public domain music using Citizen DJ, a project that allows users to create hip-hop music from openly available audio and video collections provided by the Library of Congress. Participants also learned how to create an attribution for their remixed work. Thank you to those who attended! If you missed the workshop, you can watch the recording here: https://lnkd.in/eDnn5Rzd. Follow along to the recording and remix your own beats on Citizen DJ using this link: https://lnkd.in/djX7Ptq. Feel free to share your beats and attributions in the comments section below!
