Art as a weapon: Rap music from Gaza to Geneva
[Episode 75]
The name of the initiative is “Gaza meets Geneva Project”. The project started when Beatrice Guelpa and Nicolas Wadimoff went to Gaza, few weeks after the end of bombings, with the aim to produce a documentary. “During the trip” told us Beatrice “we met five young rappers. We became friends and when we went back to Geneva we had impression that we left them in a prison. At the end,we decided to put in place this project”.
Five rappers born in the violence and the war, who left Gaza for the first time, will make a contest with five rappers living in Geneva, the city of peace. Besides, the event is made by meetings, workshops, concerts.
