November 20: Democracy In Dakar’s Hip-Hop In Senegal) Screening at NYU, New York, NY at 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
The film Democracy In Dakar will be screening this Thursday as part of NYU International Education Week. Democracy in Dakar is a feature length film from which Hip-Hop In Senegal (part of the Eighth Annual Media That Matters Festival) was taken as a short. The film follows rappers, DJs, journalists, professors and people on the street at the time before during and after the controversial 2007 presidential election in Senegal and examines hip-hop’s role on the political process. Originally shot as a seven part documentary mini-series released via the internet – the documentary bridges the gap between hip-hop activism, video journalism and documentary film and explores the role of youth and musical activism on the political process.
The screening is free and open to the public, and will be accompanied by a live performance and panel discussion. RSVP is required!
The event will take place on November 20th from 6:30 to 9:30, at NYU’s Kimmel Center Eisner and Lubin Auditorium (4th Floor) at 60 Washington Square South.
