The Afrikan Hiphop Caravan is an annual project run by grassroots Hiphop Activist Networks spread across the continent and the Afrikan diaspora. Its vision is to build a strong and united Afrikan Hiphop Movement and its mission is to establish a cohesive network of Afrikan Hiphop Collectives with strong ties to like-minded organizations worldwide. Thus, key aims of the project are: 1) to build a sense of agency and self-empowerment among politically-concious, community-based Hiphop artists, who often due to challenging socio-economic realities and political repression feel marginalized and isolated; 2) to transcend borders to enable artists and activists to share their skills, resources and struggle experiences; 3) to create alternative platforms for dialogue between activists, artists, academics and working-class communities.
