Hip-hop has always been built from the ground up, from the streets, from community, and from the need to create space where there was none.
During Museumnacht010, Hiphophuis moves through different layers of that process: development, exchange, and live creation. From emerging makers shaping their craft to collectives building energy in real time, the night highlights not just the outcome but the foundation behind it. Together with Kunsinstituut Melly, House of Knowledge and IBE we are opening up our house and have something on each floor for everyone.
HYBRID X EXHIBITION LAUNCH
Luciano Hiwat presents his Hybrid X platform, including the concept videos and original music he has developed over the past year. As part of his development trajectory, supported by Hiphophuis, he worked alongside eight emerging makers to build their craft. Through dedication, discipline, and their own lived stories, they have sharpened and deepened their practice.
During this launch, they share not only the final outcome, but also the process: the first ideas, the experiments, the growth, and the decisions behind the work. In line with From the Ground Up, the focus here is on foundation: how work is built from the floor, from community, and from the necessity to create your own platform.
SILENT DISCO
Two channels. Two collectives. Two distinct sounds. Each with its own signature, yet connected through shared culture. Rooted in different backgrounds, both collectives build their own energy while remaining part of the same foundation. From the Ground Up takes shape here as diversity within a shared base, staying true to your roots while opening space for new directions.
EXHIBITION BATTLES WITH LIVE MUSIC
Where movement meets live sound. Crews and collectives exchange energy with live musicians, creating a direct dialogue through performance. Presented in collaboration with our in-house family: House of Knowledge and IBE. Here, performance is created in the moment: from the floor, through interaction, and through collective energy. From the Ground Up means building in real time, carried by the cypher, the community, and trust in each other’s craft.
