THE INTERSECTIONALITY BETWEEN HIP HOP AND POP CULTURE

POP ART STAGE

Cultures clash at the Pop Culture Stage for an incredible conversation surrounding the importance and intersectionality of AMINE, HIP-HOP & POP CULTURE. From Afro Samurai to Black Sands to The Boondocks… there is an innate connection between all three. Come explore the historical context of Hip-Hop’s influence over anime and its pop cultural impact across the world. Why are Africans and African Americans gravitating towards cosplay/anime culture more than ever? Why is multicultural representation so essential for our communities? Whether it’s MF DOOM or RZA… we enjoy participating and immersing ourselves into these worlds. What’s the difference between Marvel and Wu Tang Clan? Ye and Disney? Join us as we explore these connections and expand our perspectives when it comes to the cultural currency of Anime and Hip-Hop.
