In November 2014, the Afrikan Hiphop Caravan – an annual project organized by various African Hiphop collectives – will take place for the second time. This year, the Caravan will explore, celebrate and discuss Hiphop, street art and urban youth culture in Cape Town, Harare, Arusha and Nairobi. Next to Hiphop Slams, a Hiphop Conference will be organized in each city. These Conferences offer a unique platform to scholars, artists and community activists to come together and debate the current state of African Hiphop, its impact on youth culture, as well as its relevance to socio-political processes and community development. This year, the Conferences are united by focusing on a common theme: Economic Justice. Thus, a central question under discussion will focus on how Hiphop Culture – representing the voice of the youth – relates to and can contribute to building liberated and transparent African economies – autonomous of foreign domination.
