Hip Hop Collective Unrecognized

Mission Statement
Hip Hop Collective is an RSO at Hampshire College in Amherst, Ma, and was born September 2006 in an effort to bring local hip hop communities together: performance artists (deejays, emcees, bgirls/bboys, poets), visual artists (graffiti artists/muralists), multimedia artists, cultural workers/community activists to share the essence of what is a hip hop culture and not one that has become so monopolized by corporate mass media. Hip Hop Collective event themes include: Who Got Next?: Graffiti Gallery party, and Two Turntables and a Mic party (Fall Semester); La Femme Expression showcase, and Bridgin Da Gap Dj party (Spring Semester). Hip Hop Collective strives to integrate students of Hampshire College with surrounding communities to network and build new sustainable relationships in an effort to provide a model of bridging gaps between educational institutions and the people at large.
