Vasilii Zorkii: A Brief History of Hip-Hop

On June 26, as part of Konstantin Benkovich’s exhibition Fight the Power, Arc’s Creative Director and former Creative Director of the Afisha Picnic festival, Vasilii Zorkii, will give a lecture titled Hip-Hop: A Brief History — in ten tracks, five samples, and six videos.

During the lecture, Vasilii will explore how hip-hop emerged and evolved, how this culture functions today, why rap concerts rarely become truly outstanding musical events, and where recitation ends and genuine poetry begins.

Admission is free.
