About the workshop

Campbelltown is the unofficial hip-hop capital of Australia. Its vibrant hip-hop scene encompasses artists of varying levels of artistic skills. Hip-hop artists such as Planet Crushers, Sista She, X-Pose, Botanics, Cannibal Tribe and 046 have emerged from Campbelltown over recent years.

These artists are active musicians who both perform and record and many are building high profiles within the Australian Music Industry.

This workshop explored ways to represent the audiovisual richness of rap, graffiti, beat boxing and break dancing on mobile phones.
