Welsh Hip Hop Culture

Hip Hop Culture is young in comparisons with other art forms. 

There a lots of discussions around when Hip Hop started, by who, where and what it has achieved in its existence. 

It is a living art form that is practiced all over the world in visual arts, spoken word, dance, music and educational contexts. 

In Wales the dance aspects have been around since the 1980's jams, training sessions, shows, events have taken place all over Wales and have engaged with thousands of people. 

Hip Hop Teaches Peace, Unity, Love and Having Fun and was born out of a need to come together, after enforced segregation from political powers had divided communities. 

The welsh scene is slightly segregated and all opportunities are supported by groups of individuals who are making things happen for their communities and their art forms. All bringing positivity to the people they engage with.

The Peoples Collection Wales is a great way for all involved in Hip Hop Culture in Wales to celebrate what has been achieved and to find a platform to showcase what how Hip Hop has been a valuable part of Welsh Culture for decades. 

One of the elements of Hip Hop is knowledge, it is important we demonstrate to the next generation Wales's place in the global Hip Hop scene and help them develop pathways for the future. 

All uploads onto the website, remain the copyright of the person uploading the information. The Peoples Collection Wales are "Welsh Government funded, and the three leading partners organisations are Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales, National Library of Wales and the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales."

The collection holds everything from present day activity to Palaeolithic collections. 

Hip Hop is currently under represented and we are looking to change this and would love for the Welsh Hip Hop Communities to share their stories, events, art, music, dance and community activity.
