Definition of the Field:

Our “field” is made up of organizations and individuals that use hip-hop culture to promote social change.

WHAT IS THE TEACH-IN? A BRIEF HISTORY

The Remixing the Art of Social Change: A Hip-Hop Approach teach-in is designed to outline the tools and resources necessary to develop curriculum, programs, and work (artistic and scholarly) based on hip-hop culture. The teach-in will also address how to retain and attract high caliber hip-hop artists and build sustainable organizations.

Our field is made up of organizations that use hip-hop culture to promote social change and push the envelope of what hip-hop culture can produce artistically, academically, politically and socially. The presenters at Remixing the Art of Social Change are the artists and educators who never gave up on hip-hop and are still actively working through it to promote love, peace, unity and having fun. The teach-in is for people who move beyond hip-hop as a purely aesthetic art and see it as a vehicle to build organizations and to educate youth and families along with their communities through the arts.
