DC Hip-Hop Theater Festival: Kick-off Event!

Peace & Blessings Family,

July 11-16th marks the 10 yr anniversary of the DC Hip-Hop Theater Festival. A week full of music, parties, performances and…H.E.R. A lot of great events will be taking place throughout the week, and guess who will be kicking things off? M3.

MC’s, Mics and Metaphors [Re/Mixed], explores the creative power of the lyricism and poetry of Hip-hop music through visual imagery. As you know, this exhibition first appeared at Flasphoint Gallery in 2010, and received critical acclaim. Remixed by Simone Jacobson and Tewodross Melchishua uniquely for the 14th St. Busboys and Poets, M3 Re/Mixed, gathers a group of emerging artists from around the country, each responding to the theme of the MC (Emcee or Master of Ceremonies) or simply a favorite hip hop verse or song. Not to be missed! This is the closing event for the exhibit and the kick-off event for the Hip-Hop Theater Festival (http://www.hhtf.org/hhtfdc/). Come through and holla!

Where: Bus boys & Poets, 14th st. When: Mon July 11th, 6-8pm, FREE TO THE PUBLIC.

Peace

Calling all artists!

Greetings M3 Artists, Poets and MCs: Hope all is well. As some of you may know, we are exhibiting M3: Remixed currently at Busboys and Poets. I wanted to know if any of you would be available next Monday to be apart of a short artist talk (about your work, the M3 theme, hip-hop) from about 6 to 6:30 ish PM? It will be at Busboys and Poets on 14th Street. Please let me know, and I am also asking local MCs and/or poets to also come in and freestyle/respond to the work. We then plan from say 6:30 to 7:00 PM for MCs, Poets to respond "lyrically" to the works and theme of the work, completing the cypher. After that some light refreshment and tie to chill/mingle until 8 PM. Any of you that attended and participated in this event when we did it at Flashpoint a few years ago, should remember it went very well, and I thank you. Please send me a note/tweet/DM/email ( [email protected], [email protected]). I really hope some of you can come and be apart of this, I will be moderating and may also invite some other guests to come and speak on the topic. If you have any MC suggestions please let me know. Even if you can't stay the entire time, that is cool, we will start promptly at 6, and keep it moving. Again, we are also working on another tentative M3/ Guru & Gang Starr tribute exhibition for this summer and fall. If interested please send me an email and for more information visit these sites: http://www.soulsuite.com.m3 http://m3exhibition.wordpress.com http://www.busboysandpoets.com Feel free to share. Thanks and peace...
