Mon Jul 2 09:35:20 ACST 2018

Dear All,

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to the 2018 AsiaPacific at RMIT
Seminar Series.

*Date*: Wednesday, 11 July 2018
*Time*: 12:30 pm – 1.30 pm
*Venue*: B013-04.02 (Boardroom in the Emily McPherson Building, 405 Russell
St.)
*Presenter*: Assoc. Professor  Kamaludeen Mohamed Nasir

*Title*:  ‘Live it and Spit it’: Hip Hop and the Globalized Muslim Youth of
the Asia Pacific

This talk will explore the appropriation of hip hop music by young Muslims
in the Asia Pacific. The genre which initially comes as a challenge to
religious authorities and the state has developed from a stigmatized art
form to one that has been co-opted by grassroots organizations and
government ministries. The presentation will delve into the different
strategies adopted by hip hoppers to not only reconcile their multiple
identities but also to ensure the advancement of their craft.
