From the 5 Burroughs of New York in the mid-seventies to across the entire planet today, Hip Hop continues to be a culture immersed in the struggle for a better world. If Peace is the message, then Hip Hop is the voice...
On September 24th to 26th the Greater Vancouver area will host for the 6th consecutive year the Annual Vancouver International Hip Hop Festival - HIP HOP FOR PEACE! The Festival will be three days of performances by local and international talent including MC's, Breakdancers, DJ's and Graffiti artists.
There will be workshops and tutorials teaching participants how to rap, breakdance and give insight into the history of Graffiti culture and its significance today. It will be a base camp for community forums discussing youth activism, women's rights, Indigenous struggle, Hip Hop's rise to an international stage and its growth alongside the movement for peace, equality and social justice. It will be showcasing some of the freshest artists in Hip Hop culture today, and most importantly it will once again be free and all ages!
Over the last 6 years the Festival has grown into one of the most significant events of its kind. What makes this even more amazing is that it is completely built, organized, sponsored, and supported by communities of youth, families and regular working people from Downtown Vancouver, Canada to Havana, Cuba! This festival has been committed from its very onset to being as accessible, diverse, creative and idealistic as the human imagination and will can envision.
Hip Hop for Peace is the culmination of the skills of hundreds of artists from across the world, the generous support and endorsement of hundreds of sponsors from retail stores to municipalities, broad media coverage from local to global carriers and the dedication to reaching out with art dedicated to bringing about peace!
