Please note: this event will be held in person.
Notes From The Underground traces the inter-generational Hip Hop movement of Cape Town, spanning four decades from the 1980s to the present day.
At the heart of the movement is Knowledge of Self. In Cape Town, this becomes a means to reclaim culture, rewrite erased histories, and forge new identities in the aftermath of colonialism and apartheid.
Through personal stories from different generations and neighbourhoods, the film reveals how Hip Hop has transcended music to become a powerful tool for self-discovery, activism, spiritual awareness and community empowerment.
