Methodology and stylistic characteristics coming from Hiphop bleed into contemporary arts, contemporary dance and popular culture. What make visual artists, designers, musicians and dancers borrow, appropriate and celebrate Hiphop - in terms of methods, expressions, formats and ideas?
In this panel discussion, we will discuss how artists who do not come from Hiphop use methodology and aesthetics from Hiphop. Why and in what way has this become a trend in contemporary dance? Does this create a dilution of what Hiphop is, or is it enriching? Is Hiphop dancers' knowledge used as an effect in performances and choreography? Or does it help to emphasize what co-creative dance artists are and can be?
Panel: TBA
The conversation is a continuation of the panel discussion Hiphop in contemporary art - part 1, where dance artists Jens Jeffry Trinidad and Camilla Tellefsen and head of the record label Oslo Records, Øyvind Holmboe Basmo talked about how Hiphop is a lifestyle and extends far beyond just being linked to genre and form. The conversation was moderated by Geir Haraldseth, curator at the National Museum.
