/The Power of Hip Hop: EXCHANGE/ is a unique academic seminar that 
explores the role, challenges and potential of hip hop culture in 
facilitating social change in global contexts, and its role as a site of 
resistance and identity.

Featuring a programme of academic panels, keynote papers, artist 
presentations and practitioner provocations, this event harnesses In 
Place of War’s vast international network of grassroots artists and 
blends it with a rich selection of researchers exploring issues

commerce, and conflict.
