Register with organizerWhat to look forward to
Drawing on ethnographic research, creative practice, and community-engaged scholarship, Jabari Evans will explore hip-hop as civic media that helps urban communities create knowledge, build networks, and shape public visibility. He will connect these practices to debates over digital platforms, AI, and the clout economy, and whose voices and values will define future technologies.
Inside the event
What can hip-hop teach us about building more participatory and equitable media futures? Drawing from ethnographic research, creative practice, and community-engaged scholarship, JabariEvans examines hip-hop as a form of civic media through which urban communities create knowledge, build networks, and make themselves visible. He connects these practices to emerging questions about digital platforms, artificial intelligence, and the “clout economy,” asking whose voices, values, and cultural practices will shape the technologies of tomorrow.
