Hip-hop activism for Invincible was just a workshop topic once, or a fundraising and outreach tool; now it's completely integrated into her work as she uses elements of hip hop and music to systematize and inspire.
"For example," Invincible says, "with the L.A.M.P." [Live Arts Media Project — a Detroit Summer project] process, kids collected community interviews and then analyzed them to create their own hip-hop pieces directly informed by the interviews. They then developed interactive workshops based off the pieces and interviews, and used the workshops to allow other kids to create their own hip-hop pieces and brainstorm alternative solutions to the problems raised in the interviews, which will raise awareness in the city and for larger scale changes to be made."
