Mykki Blanco

Over dit evenement

From art project to queer icon. Mykki Blanco began as an experiment centred on a teenage girl posting vlogs and raps on social media. Just over a decade later, the artist has become a household name and a figurehead within the queer community – a reflection of self-discovery and identity through art.Mykki has pushed hip-hop to unprecedented, unbounded limits by blending noise and experimental elements with club and trap influences, while carving out a distinctly subversive path within a genre historically entangled with problematic ideologies such as misogyny, homophobia and transphobia. While Blanco is widely recognised as a leading force within the so-called ‘queer rap’ sub-genre, their recent work signals a strong artistic evolution that breaks through genre boundaries.
