Women in Hip Hop history
Numerous women have been involved since the early days of Hip Hop. A timeline will demonstrate the role of women in rap, graffiti, breakdance and DJing and will also show how women influenced fashion, photography and film in the last 30 years.

Women in graffiti
Female graffiti artists have been part of the scene since the birth of graffiti. In the exhibition we are showing series of portraits of outstanding female graffiti artists to visualise the presence of female writers. A female graffiti timeline will present female activities in the Hip Hop scene from the 70’s until now.

Martha Cooper
We will also show a retrospective of Martha Cooper’s photographic work of the last 50 years.

Women in Hip Hop - library & jukebox
Our large international “Women in Hip Hop” library gives you the chance to boost your Hip Hop knowledge by exploring the history and theory of ladies in the scene during the last 30 years. The visitor will also be able to check our selection of female Hip Hop videos and rap audio tracks - the ones you love and the ones you have never heard of before.
The visitors of the expo are welcome to have a coffee - this is going to be the main chill-out area during the last week of the We B*Girlz festival, intended to create a space where visitors and festival artists can meet to talk, net- work, exchange experiences, do interviews, read and relax. During the expo mixtapes of contemporary female Hip Hop DJs from around the world will be played.  And to top it off, we’ll have a shop with books, mixtapes, and the coolest female Hip Hop head clothes brought to you by the ladies of kandie shop from Hamburg.
