Il collettivo CULT, attraverso la musica rap, ci racconta che il coraggio non è solo un atto individuale. È spesso l’ascolto di una voce diversa dalla nostra. È lasciarsi toccare, cambiare, ispirare. È trasformare una ferita personale in una musica collettiva.
Lo hanno fatto dando voce ai testi di scrittori e scrittrici Indomiti, persone con disabilità che hanno scritto pensieri e poesie sul tema Coraggio, dimostrando che l’arte abbatte le barriere e amplifica il coraggio. Un momento intenso, nel quale ogni nota e ogni parola ci ricordano la forza delle storie condivise e della contaminazione di esperienze.
//// Through rap music, the collective band CULT tell us that courage is not only an individual act.
It often means listening to a voice different from ours.
It is about letting ourselves be touched, changed, inspired by others, about transforming a personal wound into collective music.
They have done it by giving voice to the texts of the writers Indomiti, disabled people who have written thoughts and poems on the theme of Courage, and have showed that art is able to topple barriers and expand courage.
It was an intense moment, when each note and word reminded us of the strength of shared stories and exchanged experiences.
Dalla sinergia tra la cooperativa sociale Giro del Cielo e un gruppo di artisti di Reggio Emilia, nel 2022 nasce CULT. Con un obiettivo: dare vita e corpo ai pensieri attraverso parole, musica, immagini e scrittura, creando ponti tra storie ed esperienze, da Reggio Emilia verso ogni direzione. All’attivo, CULT ha i progetti Rookie Of The Year (ROTY), contest rap/trap per artisti locali e Underdog, contest per freestyler che si sfidano a suon di rime improvvisate. Talk to Cult è il format CULT nel quale la musica diventa uno strumento di analisi e di confronto, alla ricerca di quale impatto ha la musica sui giovani. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
