Visibilización en sistema de la tribu urbana Hip-Hop para su comprensión sociocultural integrada en una propuesta mural contemporánea

Abstract

The Hip-Hop movement has evolved over the decades in ways that are extremely diverse, encompassing a wide variety of elements such as music, dance, graffiti and fashion. On multiple occasions it has been associated with negative stereotypes that established an erroneous and very limited understanding of what it really implies; since not all people have access to complete information about Hip-Hop. Faced with this problem, it was proposed to capture Hip-Hop Culture in a mural based on its four foundations: breakdance, graffiti, rap and turntablism. In other words, the aim was to disseminate this art through a contemporary visual proposal in order to establish an integrative sociocultural understanding. To this end, a caricature-style mural was created with outdoor painting that consisted of the representation of female and male characters, with representative elements of various urban tribes that converge in Hip-Hop. These elements accentuated the expressiveness of the characters to leave a visual manifesto of what hip-hop is and how it is shaped as an artistic-cultural movement. All this to contribute to the assimilation and positive impact of culture. This aesthetic experience led to the recognition and iconographic identification of selected elements that allude to Hip-Hop, with emphasis on the female artist, in the face of a tradition in which she is frequently omitted; all of this, through beauty, dialogue with the appropriation of community spaces.
