During ADE week, OSCAM and Prince Claus Fund will once again provide a platform for female-identifying and transgender hip-hop artists, celebrating their significant contributions to the genre, through a writerscamp, an OSCAM Speak Session and a showcase. The writerscamp is a 7-day program where artists from abroad and the Netherlands, learning from each other, produce and launch together one song. They showcase this song during ADE in OSCAM and in the Melkweg, where they will also present an individual song. Afterwards, during an OSCAM Speak Session, they will talk about their love for hip-hop. Hip-hop is more than music: it is both a form of personal expression and a shared culture. Hip-hop – the art and the culture – is hugely popular on a global scale and resonates with people from all socio-economic backgrounds, but is often misunderstood within the professional art world. Placing hip-hop in a museum creates space for an interesting cross-pollination between two different art worlds. The global becomes local, the personal becomes cultural and the audible becomes visual. More information TBA soon.
