Dürnitz Night Call goes Rap

As part of the experiential exhibition "PROTEST! From anger to movement"

Hip-hop culture has always been a culture of protest - protest against various forms of discrimination, including poverty, violence and racism. At the same time, it testifies to the desire for self-empowerment and the search for identity. In keeping with our current experience exhibition "PROTEST!", we are therefore addressing the topic of "Rap and Protest" at the Dürnitz Night Call - with an exciting talk at 6 pm and a fantastic DJ line-up as well as guided tours of our exhibitions from 7 pm!

The main act of the evening is DJ Stylewarz, one of the most famous hip-hop DJs in Germany, where he helped shape the early phase of German hip-hop. He looks back on three decades at the turntables with one driving idea from day one: Be original. Establishing his own sound. Spinning a common thread. Leave a musical footprint. From start to finish
never do the same thing from start to finish, but always stay the same - that's DJ Stylewarz.

Regional support is provided by DJ Afropunk, DJ and activist from Stuttgart. As resident DJ at Kap Tormentoso and Private Room, she plays extremely danceable dancehall, reggaeton, hip-hop, Afrobeat as well as electronic, Afrohouse and world beats. And she can read her audience well: Wherever DJ Afropunk appears, people dance until the sweat drips from the ceiling. Guaranteed.

Talk "Rap and its political impact

How was and is rap used as a medium for protest? What developments can be observed globally and in Germany? In which cases does rap become the object of protest? Moderated by hip-hop pioneer Toni-L (Advanced Chemistry), the panel discussion with State Secretary Arne Braun, Bryan Vit (Freies Hip Hop Institut), main act DJ Stylwarz and local act DJ Afropunk as well as Clara Wolfstieg and Lisa Vest, the organizers of the hip-hop series "Rapple Box" for Flinta* people, will explore these and similar questions.

The Dürnitz Night Call is a joint project between the Pop-Büro Region Stuttgart and the Landesmuseum Württemberg. At the after-work event, DJ sets meet guided tours until late at night. The Dürnitz, a hall in the Old Palace that has been used for celebrations since the Middle Ages, is a museum foyer, lounge and event venue all in one. The name "Night Call" is borrowed from the Kavinsky track "Night call" and stands for an invitation to ring in the night in the museum with good drinks and selected live sets.
