J.Period poses for photographer Robert Adam Meyer :: ABOUT BROOKLYN HIP HOP FESTIVAL The Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival is a celebration of Hip-Hop music and culture. Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival highlights Hip-Hop’s legacy as an agent of artistic progression, community building and social change. We take a very liberal and intellectual view of Hip-Hop. Hip-Hop is more than music. It’s fashion, politics, sports, philosophy, journalism, publishing, web design, technology, visual art, digital art, sculpture, graffiti, dance, DJ’ing, producing, activism. We want to celebrate it all. The Festival is more than a concert or outdoor fair. It is a more of a family reunion for lovers of this great culture. People come from Flatbush to Berlin to enjoy the Brooklyn sun. - BROOKLYN BODEGA Click here for more information about Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival 2009. |
