KQED School Services and Community Outreach, in partnership with Youth Uprising, invite teachers and youth advocates to an evening of film, conversation and education

A screening of Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes

This groundbreaking documentary by Byron Hurt takes an in-depth look at manhood in rap music and hip-hop culture—where creative genius, poetic beauty, and mad beats collide with misogyny, violence and homophobia.  It is a "loving critique" of certain disturbing developments in rap music culture from the point of view of a fan who challenges the art form's representations of masculinity. 

Workshop sessions to follow for the following audience members (please register for the appropriate session):

• 6th-12th grade teachers (multiple subject teachers are encouraged to attend)
• advocates and organizers who work with young people in after-school programs or community-based organizations
• adult educators who teach at community college 

5:00-6:00 pm registration and dinner reception

6:00-7:00 pm screening

7:00- 8:30 pm workshop sessions and closing 

This is a FREE event, dinner and parking are provided, and education resources including educator guides and films are available for all participants.  Pre-registration is required as space is limited.
