It's a Hip Hop world

It’s a Hip Hop world

Uganda, 2010 - ongoing

“Hip hop is neither a panacea nor a cure all. It is not perfect, but its promise is undeniable. It is a culture with complicated social and historical roots. And it should not be appropriated without acknowledging, respecting and addressing these, because it is precisely these origins that make is so important. Its complicated history enables us to critically reflect on our society, and forces us to face issues of race, privilege, class, and cultural appropriation.” (Alexander Crooke/Raphael Travis Jr.)

“It's a hip hop world” describes the spirit, energy and drive for self-awareness and social-consciousness of B-Girls and B-Boys in Uganda.
