(W)RAP IT UP is a proposal by the Braga collective Purple Keys. Records with the aim of creating community and serving it through art and culture.
This programme is centred on the Hip Hop’orta Aberta initiative, an educational cycle that will take place in four social housing estates in Braga and is aimed at teenagers between the ages of 13 and 18. Between March and October, workshops will be held in music production, video, photography, creative writing, singing and design, encouraging participants to develop their own creations. (W)RAP IT UP has two other actions: Hip Hop in Motion, which promotes small concerts in unusual formats; and Hip Hop Nu e Cru, a publication that will document the work done throughout the year.
Curated by Purple Keys. Records
