6th Can't Stop Hip Hop Conference

HipHopEX is excited to announce and host the 6th Annual Can't Stop Hip Hop Conference at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.  For two days, May 6 & 7, we will lift up this year's theme: The Culture of Tomorrow...Today.

This year will be held as a hybrid event where we want to center Hip Hop artists, educators, scholars, and organizers whose work is organized around three pillars: Culture, Community, and Creation:

• CULTURE -- uplifting Hip Hop culture, knowledge, and history in various sectors
• COMMUNITY -- building and sustaining community through Hip Hop
• CREATION -- creating and designing experiences that will impact the future of Hip Hop
