Panel Discussion on the Future of Hip-Hop in South Africa:
Presenters and Participants
The Centre for Multilingualism and Diversities Research (CMDR) at the University of the
Western Cape, Staticphlow (a hip-hop research project based at the University of Cape
Town) and Heal the Hood (a hip-hop NGO) welcomes you to the first Heal the Hood HipHop Lecture Series. The aims of the Lecture Series are: (1) to provide a forum, an
intellectually engaging and stimulating space where the marginalised voices of school
youth will be heard; (2) share experiences, concerns and goals for their future of hip-hop
and education in dialogue with peers, hip-hop artists, and researchers and academics
who form part of the UWC teaching and learning environment; and (3) where school
youth are able to discuss opportunities for careers via hip-hop in the higher education
contexts. We hope that you will find the Lecture Series as an important space to have
serious discussion around the past, present and future of hip-hop in South Africa, but
also a forum for serious discussion about the commercialization of hip-hop, hip-hop
activism, and hip-hop arts and hip-hop education in South Africa.
