5 Pillars of Hip Hop is a pop up program run in partnership with 3rdEyE Youth Empowerment and the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park offering family-friendly and interactive activities. These showcases teach the public about the history of Hip Hop culture through live music and art demonstrations featuring professional and youth artists. Each month focuses on a different “pillar” of Hip Hop including; MCing, DJing, Breakdancing, Graffiti, and Knowledge (of self and community). The Pillar for May’s kick off event is DJing. This event will move inside to The National Park Maker Space, 33 William Street 2nd floor if weather deems necessary.
