Pepatián’s HIP-HOP ACADEMY
Pepatián's Bronx Hip-Hop Academy began in 2004-05 from a desire to support the development of Hip-Hop in its birthplace by connecting local professional teaching artists/entrepreneurs with local youth for greater arts enrichment.
Artists teach the history and artistry of Hip-Hop at an accessible, grassroots level appropriate for teens, high school and college students.
HIP-HOP HOMELANDS
Pepatián's Bronx Hip-Hop Homelands began in 2019 to offer up-and-coming women and gender non-conforming dance and spoken word artists space to share and develop their craft in performance. Co-curated and hosted by La Bruja and Rokafella.
