Momma's Hip Hop Kitchen:
The Soup Kitchen for the Hip Hop Soul 2
Faith, Feminism and Hip Hop

From the times of indigenous colonization, slavery and rise of womyn's rights movements up to today's third wave feminist activism, women of color have been at the forefront using  art and music as a form of spirituality. This in turn has given voice to centuries of oppression that have silenced them.  Hip Hop's elements: DeeJaying, Emceeing, Break Dancing, Graffiti ,and Knowledge have provided women with the room to articulate the complexity of women's demands for social, economic and political justice.


What:
A free safe space for women -especially womyn of color who seek social justice through HIP HOP.
(Men can attend)

Featuring:
Every element of Hip Hop! La Bruja, Lah Tere of Rebel Diaz, Patty Dukes, Bless Roxwell, Nene Ali, Misnomer(s), Eagle Nebula, Big Nay, Rokafella, Bombayo,

Description of the Event:

       In honor of International Womyns Month, the 2nd Annual Momma's Hip Hop Kitchen is dedicated to Faith, Feminism and Hip Hop.  This event will take place at Hostos Community College, located in the South Bronx, the birthplace of Hip Hop.  Hip Hop's home is also the poorest congressional district in the nation where negative statistics on womyn are staggering .

       The South Bronx is a community filled with churches and botanicas full of spiritual elements, powerful curanderas and healers that constantly provide images that reflect their racial and cultural heritage.  For generations, immigrant families tap into music and art in order to stay rooted to their homelands and survive their displacement. Behind closed doors, families keep praying to their ancestors, deities and saints. When family members are ill, or when disasters strike, they call upon their powers by creating the most beautiful of altars for praying, worshiping, giving thanks, lighting candles and manifesting their dreams.
Please come out and join is as we liberate our spirits through Hip Hop.
