HipHop Evolution | Cypher Talk + Q&A | 40 minutes
Cypher Talk is a dynamic dialogue between panel guests and the audience, exploring the evolution and impact of hip hop culture.

Through her collective CNCPT, she actively supports emerging creators and the local community.

Panel guests include Deams, a pioneer within the international hip hop scene and an influential rapper who has left his mark worldwide, and Bamba Al Mansour, a multidisciplinary artist, cultural strategist, and organizer with decades of experience in art, activism, and community-driven programming.

The evening continues at pop venue De Kade with the official afterparty, featuring Duvel live on stage and DJ Bishop on the decks.

Expect a day filled with film, hip hop culture, and music — for everyone who wants to experience where hip hop stands today.
