Emerge Vancouver

Corporations and people in power are force-feeding us a brand of hip-hop that isn't true to its roots. We are taking a stand for some of the core values of true hip-hop. In the words of one of the first hip-hop artists, Afrika Bambaataa, it's all about peace, unity, love, and having fun.

*HIP-HOP: BEYOND BEATS & RHYMES* is a documentary that examines gender roles in hip-hop through the lens of filmmaker Byron Hurt, a former college quarterback turned activist. Conceived as a "loving critique" from a self-proclaimed "Hip-Hop Head," Hurt tackles issues of masculinity, sexism, violence and homophobia in today's hip-hop culture.

During the day, Byron Hurt will be joined by Chuck D front man for Public Enemy in Vancouver teaming up with Battered Women's Support Services to feature the film's screenings and engage in talk-back sessions.

AT NIGHT, we party!

Test Blog Entry With Long Name

When you enter into the act of co-creation you open yourself up to the vulnerable and at times terrifying act of peeling away your old perceptions to find new ones, and you open yourself to doing this in an intensely public way.

2008 Theme announced!

2008 is the year of “Re:Birth and Co-Creation.” This premise directs all events giving artists a platform to explore their artistic visions and curiosities by partnering them with an artist working in another genre. This not only inspires and intrigues the artists but delves them into uncharted creative territory to Co-create an innovative vision. Through this collaboration, a new artistic life transpires, a Re:Birth. This modern approach is meant to explore new creative possibilities and broaden audiences, as well as addressing a theme that has particular resonance with artists.
