KIM moderates a Hip Hop panel at Eurosonic Noorderslag

 Posted by / 0 comments

‘Name your 5 favourite rappers! How many of those are women? Although hip hop is a leading genre in many countries, female and non-binary talent is still underrepresented. What are the roadblocks, how do sexuality and sexism come into play and how can we create a (more) positive environment for those who don’t identify as a man?

During the Women in Hip Hop panel experts Terry Ellmer (creative director, DE), Kim Dankoor (researcher, NL), Beckie Sugden (talent agent, USA -i.a., Noname, Jhene Aiko, Anderson Paak-), Ariez (rap artist, UK), and Randall Span (music director FunX, NL) will shine a light on how the music industry can take responsibility and create more gender equality in the hiphop scene.

Georgia State University students interview KIM

 Posted by / 0 comments

Bachelor journalism students interviewed Kim Dankoor about her views on Hip Hop culture (i.e. representations in commercial rap, underground rap around the world, the ‘2019 Grammy wins’ the Gucci boycott, and the future of this culture), the current state of journalism, stereotypes in popular media, and global politics. They also asked her questions about her career, her purpose in life and how she strives to make a difference in the media world. They were also curious about the cultural differences between the Netherlands, Suriname, and the United States. Kim’s interview will be published in print.

Thank you for allowing our class to interview you! I really appreciate your response to my question about why focus on contemporary Hip Hop as the medium for social change. (Vanessa, student and social media manager).
