Thursday, Oct. 9, 6 p.m.
Hostos Center for the Arts and Culture, 450 Grand Concourse
Free
The International Indigenous Hip-Hop Festival (IIHHF) brings artists from across the Americas, North to South, to the birthplace of Hip-Hop in the South Bronx. From Oct. 9-12, the festival includes tours, open mics, wellness sessions, workshops and a main stage jam at Hostos Center for Arts and Culture. The Bronx created Hip-Hop’s mother tongue, and the festival brings Indigenous dialects and languages back into the cypher for knowledge exchange and a return to the roots. Both Indigenous peoples and the Bronx stand on the frontlines—of climate crisis, of cultural resistance—offering living solutions and vital knowledge for the future.
