Synopsis
Kuumba Lynx takes the audience on a journey to embrace the wisdom of the elders while forming a unified voice for the often misrepresented worlds of Chi-Town youth. The sixty minute show consists of a montage of shorts, vignettes, and emotional portraits leading to intergenerational self-discovery, identity and empowerment. Kuumba Lynx is an arts-in-education, not-for-profit organization working to provide access to cross-cultural and interdisciplinary arts while building community. Kuumba Lynx seeks to empower youth by developing programs that preserve, promote and present urban (Hip-Hop) culture, both as an artistic aesthetic and as a social justice movement.Running Time
