VIDEO! Global dialogues about Hip Hop culture: Amsterdam x Atlanta

In this video KIM explores people’s views of Hip Hop Culture from a global lens. KIM asked people in Amsterdam to formulate one question for people in Atlanta; the Atlanta participants answered and they each formulated one question for the people in Amsterdam, subsequently, the Amsterdam participants answered their questions. Different aspects of Hip Hop culture are being discussed in the video; the good, the bad and the ugly sides.

This innovative media-project is part of KIM’s empirical research. KIM is in Atlanta to investigate how the images in Commercial Hip Hop Music Videos influence late adolescents’ concepts of self (physical attractiveness, romantic appeal and behavior). Although the participants in the video didn’t solely ask questions about the images in Hip Hop Culture, a lot of the answers will spark the debate on Hip Hop culture as a powerful global force……..discussion topics for days;)……KIM will use parts of this clip for her talks at Georgia State University ( African-American studies department) and other venues.

KIM inspires and informs the listeners of fashion confab

Fashion Confab is a weekly podcast where we have conversations with the icons and trailblazers of the fashion industry. We profile the leaders in the fashion industry to inspire and inform our listeners. We want to reveal a portrait of our guests that exposes their creative spirit.  We delve beneath the surface to look at what motivates them, what excites them, what makes them relevant and what led to their success.  Please tune in to be informed and inspired by the most influential people in fashion today.

Kim Dankoor inspires critical thinking about the political, social, and cultural influence of media and uses, among other things, FASHION to do that. She also has a vintage fashion line and wants to – ‘vintagize’ – Atlanta.  Her t-shirt line quote “It’s Hard To Be What You Hardly See” was created to emphasize the importance of role models from diverse backgrounds.

Update: Unfortunately, the radio show Fashion Confab no longer exist. I re-uploaded my radio interview for the people who want to know why I do what I do.
