Back again for the 4th year running, this year’s Hip Hop Festival
Against War & Occupation `Hip Hop vs. War’ is set to exceed
expectations and celebrate the spirit of resistance that hip hop’s
beats, rhythms and rhymes are rooted in!
>From hip hop’s legacy in the ghettos of New York City, to
Palestinian hip hop beats today, this cultural phenomenon has become
the voice of youth, people of color, and oppressed people and
nationalities from around the world. Whether it’s a beat, a lyric,
spinning a record, popping and locking, or graffiti on a wall, hip
hop transforms the spirit of millions of people marching for justice
into a popular culture that spans borders, cultures and languages.
This popular festival has year after year garnered community
support, major media coverage, and the participation of youth,
women, families and oppressed people and nationalities, as well as
performers from Vancouver to around the world. This festival has
spanned the lower mainland, with shows and workshops in venues like
skate parks, community centers, auditoriums, clubs, youth centers,
sports fields, parks, and restaurants.
Be sure to mark your calendars, watch for updates and don’t miss
this year’s `Hip Hop vs. War’ 4th Hip Hop Festival Against War &
Occupation!
