Kulture Hubs is an educational extension of the Hip Hop in the Park Foundation whose mandate is to reclaim the founding values of Hip Hop as a culture of peace and reconciliation. Hip Hop is commonly perceived as embodying greed, violence, and misogyny; however, it was developed in the South Bronx in the late 1970s to enact a peace treaty between over 100 gangs and singlehandedly saved an entire community. Rather than mimicking this historical Hip Hop culture, Kulture Hubs seeks to create a new Hip Hop culture which integrates contemporary issues and experiences in marginalized communities in Edmonton. They seek to unify leadership from different activist communities so that we can work together towards the common goal of liberation.
