Rhythm & Rot: Cultivating Care through Hip Hop, Soil, and the Consciousness of Conservation

Project Description
Rhythm and Rot is a multimedia performance-workshop that fuses hip hop and the healing of reclaimed materials to explore care as a rhythmic, communal practice. Through sound, soil, fashion, and participatory design, the project reframes waste as a site of cultural memory, healing, and conscious conservation.
