A Style Nobody Can Deal With: Hip Hop, Black Aesthetics and the Arts of Social Justice | |
The role of music and art in social justice movements is frequently defined as a creative representation of the movement’s goals (e.g., protest songs and posters). Here, we will consider how Black art practices, especially when they are socially and politically contextualized, constitute a unique vision and contribution to social justice. In this presentation and discussion, we will explore Hip Hop’s Black collage-making and sampling, as politically subversive in their own right.
