EXCERPT:

Hip Hop, graffiti, break dancing and ciphering are all artforms that highlight the struggles and triumphs of humanity on the streets. “Hip Hop goes beyond graffiti, break dancing and DJing…it’s a revolutionary movement because it brings people together across religions, caste and socio economic levels,” says Nisha K. Sembi, whose work was the focus of ‘Word to Your Motherland’ (http://wordtoyourmotherland.com/), held at the Betti Ono Gallery in Oakland California from July thru August 2012.
