The production of the Aquarela Preta Festival announces the artists from the five pillars of Hip Hop selected to be part of the event’s programming, which will take place on April 15th, Saturday, from 2 pm to 8 pm, at Galpão Cultural, in Morro da Cruz, in Porto Alegre.
The program brings together Rato and Pretana, from the MC pillar; FD Cremosa, from DJ pillar; Let and Filipe Harp from the Grafite pillar; Restinga Crew and Bboy Deaf, from the Danças Urbanas pillar, and Gbeat from the Beatbox pillar.
The Aquarela Preta Festival is an initiative of the Poetas Vivos collective and seeks to give visibility to the work of artists from the State’s Hip-Hop scene. The program includes shows by Negra Jaque (4:30 pm), La Twins (2:10 pm) and the collective Poetas Vivos (6:30 pm), as well as a DJ (rap and hip-hop set list), urban dances, graffiti, Slam (poetry battle) and knowledge modality rhyme battle. There will be cash prizes for the first places in the Slam and in the knowledge modality rhyme battle. All activities have free admission.
According to the project’s creators, Mariana Abreu Marmontel and Felipe Deds, the Aquarela Preta Festival aims to give visibility and enhance black, peripheral and LGBTQIAP+ artists in the context of the Hip-Hop movement. It also seeks to disseminate the five pillars of Hip-Hop culture: MC, DJ, Urban Dances, Graffiti and Knowledge.
Another purpose of the project is to promote the decentralization of cultural spaces focused on serving children and young people in the communities, which justifies the choice of Galpão Cultural due to its importance and representativeness.
Directed by rapper Negra Jaque, Galpão Cultural fulfills a relevant social role in Morro da Cruz, where it works as a space for learning, welcoming and promoting citizenship for children and young people after school hours.
This project was contemplated by the Decentralized Cultural Events Announcement of the City Hall of Porto Alegre, through the Municipal Secretariat of Culture and the Municipal Fund for Supporting Artistic and Cultural Production (Fumproarte).
