“In a world that often forgets, we remember and honor the strength of the women’s voices through the power of hip-hop culture.”

Word. Sound. Power. returns with a celebration of women in hip-hop culture, amplifying their voices across generations and communities. Join us for a showcase featuring amazing emcees, spoken-word artists, and special guest co-curator, co-host, and performer Eisa Davis, along with MC Baba Israel and the unparalleled DJ Reborn.
This year’s celebration includes three versatile, gifted artists hailing from three boroughs closely associated with hip-hop: Aneesa Folds representing Queens, Kaya Kulu from right here in Brooklyn, and Stephanie Pacheco hailing from the Bronx. Wherever you’re from, come join us, let the music move you, and share in the powerful tradition of channeling hip-hop and poetry into an immediate, exhilarating message for the moment.
The Word. Sound. Power. Anthology highlights voices from our Word. Sound. Power. in the Classroom NYC school residency program, in which students work with BAM Teaching Artists to learn about poetry and craft their own. You can read the written works of residency students in the anthology here.
