About

The Clemente presents and supports the inaugural International Indigenous Hip-Hop Festival, a four-day gathering rooted in the Bronx, where hip-hop emerged in the wake of displacement caused by the construction of the Cross Bronx Expressway. Bringing together Indigenous artists from across the Americas, the festival links that history to the experiences of Latinx diasporas and Indigenous communities, examining the ongoing erasure of Indigenous languages, the cultural consequences of dispossession, and the lived realities of environmental disaster and climate injustice.
