IAS & Santa Cruz Barrios Unidos Galleries will be closed Dec. 21, 2024–Jan. 1, 2025.
Join us on Saturday, November 23, 2024 for a party at Santa Cruz Barrios Unidos, hosted by Brazilian group Frente 3 de Fevereiro. With three live DJs and a poetic performance, Afro-diasporic rhythms from the U.S., Brazil, Latin America and the Caribbean all come together in a musical ode to so-called street culture.
Hip-Hop was born at a party. A block party, which inevitably brings with it the forces present in a popular party held in a public space: self-representation, celebration and diversity. A party that appears as a possibility of life in the face of death planned for an entire community of excluded people, a unique moment of communion. And from that origin, Hip-Hop culture expanded and connected to millions of young people who faced the exclusions around the world.
The party is the strength of the promise, the kingdom of conferred utopia and the space where everything that exists in social life can change meaning and prolong itself. Reflect, create, transform, free the mind and body to be part of the musical mosaic that street culture provides. Fight for our right to celebrate.
Frente 3 de Fevereiro is a transdisciplinary research and direct action group focused on racism in Brazilian society. Their approach creates new interpretations and contextualizes data that often reaches the public in a fragmented way through the media.
