i would like to use this public forum to hail up and give a righteous WORD to intermedia arts for their very fine series 'the encyclopedia of hip hop evolution'. sunday night's standing-room-only presentation was pure delight...speaking to the trans-american/caribbean influences of hip-hop culture. ...a primer to the oppressed and marginalized who fight back with revolutionary and playful words. ..... very cool. rarely have i been in a more truly integrated environment; black american, black diaspora, latin, white, male and female....... and it gives thought that despite a lot of pretty words and good intentions in the political arena, sometimes art is the only real way to bridge cultures. let not politicians decry the useful purpose of funding the arts......... beth solle ward 10 _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - Minnesota E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
