Word. Sound. Power. returns with a celebration of women in hip-hop culture, amplifying femme voices across generations and communities. Join us for a showcase featuring amazing emcees, spoken-word artists, and a special guest co-host along with MC Baba Israel and the unparalleled DJ Reborn. Let the music move you, and share in the powerful tradition of channeling hip-hop and poetry into an immediate, exhilarating message for the moment.
The Word. Sound. Power. Anthology highlights voices from our Word.Sound.Power. in the Classroom NYC school residency program, in which students work with BAM Teaching Artists to learn about and craft poetry. You can read the written works of residency students in the anthology here.
