Register for Keyti lecture in Berlin

The academy will bring together cultural professionals from around the world to exchange ideas through intensive workshops in performance, dance, hip hop, sound and media arts.

Among the guest lecturers will be Senegalese hip hop artist Keyti who will lead a workshop from 29 August to 3 September about his critically acclaimed Journal Rappé news programme.

Journal Rappé, which Keyti co-created with fellow rapper Xuman, has been described as a “satirical citizen-artist journalism” platform that uses the hip hop idiom to relay social, economic and political issues. Keyti will talk about the creation and production of Journal Rappé and how its methodology and guiding principles can be implemented in other art forms.

Apart from his work on Journal Rappé, Keyti is known for his involvement in the Youth Urban Media Academy, a programme that trained juvenile convicts in the fields of photography, film and graphic design. He has also worked on the Prison Tour, a project involving creative writing workshops for detainees at two major prisons in the Senegalese capital Dakar.

Other speakers at the 2022 KlangKunstBühne will include Rabih Mroué, Josephine Ann Endicott, Bénédicte Billiet, Sophia Otto, Lola Arias, Yara Mekawei and Chris Kondek.
