Created by and for up-and-coming Hip-Hop artists, enthusiasts, and new timers from all five elements, ‘The Best Thing Since…Series’ is fostering community at the open mic, inspiring conversation by thought-provoking artists, and working up a sweat on the dance floor. Be there in person or from anywhere with a data connection. Suggested donation of $14 can be given in advance here –> http://tbts.brownpapertickets.com/ (or at the door, cash only please).
The first installment is “The Best Thing Since White Bread and Guacamole: Navigating Multiple Identities.”
Using hip hop, we’ll explore the complexities of navigating multiple identities. Beyond the socially-constructed confines of race, what constructs identity? How do we code-switch across the multiple worlds we exist in? Through the five elements of hip hop, we’ll have a multi-dimensional interactive conversation that will foster self-reflection, expression, and community.
More than a show, The Best Thing Since…Series aims to reinforce the fifth element of Hip-Hop: knowledge. How do we do this? By utilizing the other four: Graffiti art, Breaking, Emceeing and DJing.
Angel City Brewery in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles is hosting the first installment on Sunday, April 10, 2016.
