November 19th – 5pm
A discussion around feminisms, hip hop, queer rights, diasporic identity, vegan politics, and more with queer Cuban hip hop collective, Krudxs Cubensi
Krudxs Cubensi are a queer feminist hip hop collective from Cuba, representing the rights of queer and trans* people, women, migrants, people of colour and ‘intersectional beings’. Since 1999, members Odaymar Cuesta and Oli Prendes ‘have been working uninterruptedly offering art and knowledge as performers, composers, artivists and educators with over two hundred original songs, more than five hundred performances and more than two hundred workshops and talks in more than one hundred and fifty Schools, Colleges, Universities and Cultural Centers. This is why Krudxs are here on this planet, to leave a mark, to improve their environment, to contribute to the development of humanity, to denounce injustices and to propose more equitable ways for all of us to coexist gracefully and in harmony with all the life around us.’
