Black Lives Matter in Hip-Hop
January 15, 2016
From Sir Mix-a-Lot to Macklemore, the face of Pacific Northwest hip-hop has changed. How does that affect the historical link between hip-hop and social activism? This panel discussion (featuring a performance by F’RealTho: Suntonio Bandanaz and Gabriel Teodros) will explore the gentrification of Seattle hip-hop and its effects. They’ll also discuss the local Black Lives Matter movement and ways to preserve the integrity of the music and its social effects. Featured panelists include moderator Wyking Garrett, Black Stax member Jace Ecaj, Nikkita Oliver, Suntonio Bandanaz, and Renaissance the Poet. This event is in conjunction with MOHAI’s exhibit, “The Legacy of Seattle Hip-Hop.”
Presented by: Town Hall, MOHAI, and 50 next: Seattle Hip-Hop Worldwide.
