Upcoming Events
WSU Women's & Gender Studies Program hosts a screening of HIP-HOP: Beyond Beats & Rhymes
On Thursday March 29th 7 pm Science Lab Auditorium For more information contact Tamara Berg 457-5460 or tberg@winona.edu
HIP-HOP: Beyond Beats and Rhymes takes an in-depth look at manhood in rap music and hip-hop culture--where creative genius, poetic beauty and beats collide with misogyny, violence and homophobia. This groundbreaking documentary film is a "loving critique" of certain disturbing developments in rap music culture from the point of view of a fan who challenges the art form's representations of masculinity.
