Family-friendly community drop-in with workshops, live performances and a Q&A with hip hop figures, part of Hip Hop History Month at Leeds City Museum.
Leeds City Museum is hosting a hip hop drop-in session on Tuesday 27 October, from 10:30 to 12:30. It's part of Hip Hop History Month, a month of programming curated by the museum's partners at the Leeds Hip Hop Historian Society. The session is billed as a family-friendly, community drop-in on a low-cost footing, so it's one of those things you can just turn up to with the kids on a weekday morning rather than something you need to book weeks in advance.
That's the context for the morning: Hip Hop History Month is the wider project, and the Leeds Hip Hop Historian Society are the ones pulling the strings behind it. They've spent the month curating a run of events around the culture, and this session is one of the community-focused pieces in that mix. The society's name gives you a good steer on the angle they're taking — it's as much about the history and the roots of the thing as it is about the music itself.
Because it's a drop-in, you don't have to stay for the full two hours if you're just passing through. It's set up for families, so it's as much for bringing the younger ones along as it is for anyone who knows their way around a turntable. If you're in the city centre on a Tuesday morning and fancy a bit of hip hop history, it's a low-pressure way to get involved.
