Liana Weeks

Liana, a Pawtucket, Rhode Island native is a Senior at Smith College, majoring in both Anthropology and Film Studies, and currently studying abroad in South Korea for a year. While in Korea, she strives to get a better understanding of youth culture, transcending hip-hop, and east asian film. As an aspiring media artist, Liana uses her hobbies of making documentaries, somewhat frequent blogposts, and freelance DJing to initiate/add to discourse surrounding intersectionalities of classism, race, gender, and sexuality within popular culture. Lastly, she loves Kanye.. but then again who doesn't. Check out her hip-hop/photography blog theyouthculture.com and her instagram @theyouth___ (with 3 underscores)
