Audio, Video | The concept for the Poetic Rap Series has long been in the works since I was very young. I am heavily influenced by hip hop culture and by growing up in the Bay Area. I wasn't often privvy to notions about climate change, sustainability, animal rights etc. but I always had an innate curiosity to explore those realms outside of the context of a metropolitan city. After reading The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert, my heart sank and I instantly felt the weight of the ironies of both our industrial and technological accomplishments. Creating art and poetry are the ways that I feel I can raise awareness for the wrong-doings against humanity and the planet but also where I can speak what's in my heart.
