UnderGround Workshop: National Arts Festival hip hop workshop

Hip hop Activism is a seminar that will be held by Dr. Adam Haupt from UCT on Saturday 11 July at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown, Eastern Cape. The seminar begins at 2:30 and will run for 60 mins at the Blue Theatre Eden Grove.

Info on Dr Haupt and Hip Hop Activism: Author of Stealing Empire: P2P, Intellectual Property and Hip-Hop Subversion, ADAM HAUPT asks "Is hip-hop blinged out?" Critics have made a great deal of the extent to which consumerism has overtaken youth culture, and hip-hop is their favourite case in point.

In this lecture, Haupt explores that part of hip-hop that "won't stop" - hip-hop activism. Haupt is a Senior Lecturer in the Centre for Film and Media Studies at the University of Cape Town. He has taught in the English Department at the University of the Western Cape as well as in the English and Drama departments at the University of Stellenbosch.
