🗣 in Italian

Join us on 22 May 2026 at 18:00 Rome time for a special online conversation with Giuseppe “Nexus” Gatti, dedicated to the release of his new book, Made With Italy. We explore how Italian and Italian-American cultural histories are embedded within Hip Hop’s transversal forms of expression, moving across sound, image, movement, style, migration, memory, media imaginaries, and diasporic imagination. This webinar series opens a space for approaching Hip Hop Studies as a living field of research, artistic practice, cultural memory, and community-based knowledge across Italy, Europe, and beyond.

From March 18 until March 21, 2026, the ninth annual European Hip Hop Studies Conference will take place in Groningen, the Netherlands. The conference encourages reflections and responses to Hip Hop in these times of global crisis.

We focus on Hip Hop’s many transnational expressions, from European Hip Hop (situated within complex colonial histories and political tensions), its American origins, towards wider global manifestations of the form.

We invite Hip Hop scholars to respond to the present moment of locally experienced but globally interconnected inequalities vis-a-vis Hip Hop as a potentially revolutionary form. Indeed, how can Hip Hop hold true to its original tenets when it is increasingly embedded in global corporate and political structures?

More information about the conference program — which features keynote contributions by Mazbou Q, Joan Morgan, H. Samy Alim, Emile YX? and Kyra Gaunt — can be found in the “Program” section.

Tickets for the conference and its related evening events can be accessed via the “Tickets” section.
