Worldwide, hip-hop plays an important role in making the city more livable for local communities. Whether it concerns shared memories, knowledge and experiences, expressions such as block parties and graffiti tags – hip-hop is an important means of (re)claiming places in the city and giving them meaning. The exhibition The world is yours! – hip-hop makes the city offers reflections on how hip-hop as a culture and lifestyle contributes to the formation of such meaningful places in Rotterdam. From the Kruiskade shopping street to Bospolderplein, from block parties to tram stops. In this exhibition, BANLIEUE, Brand New Guys, Concrete Blossom and Notes share their vision on the role of hip-hop in their own city.
