On road, religion and rap: with Mula Moes

About this event

Distorted, misheard, or ignored—the religious voices shaping European street culture are often overlooked. Cambridge PhD researcher Floris Bosscher (Faculty of Divinity) invites us to pay better attention to the complexity of faith, identity, and moral life expressed through hip-hop and street culture in the Netherlands.  

At this intimate event, a small live audience will hear Floris in conversation with Dutch rapper Mula. Together they will reflect on how Mula’s lyrical music captures elements of (inter-)religious significance, the realities of European street/road culture and the role of music and religion in escaping its darker aspects. How do religion, rap, and street culture co-exist and what tensions exist between them?

a) Floris and Mula will speak in Dutch to capture the nuance of Mula’s experiences. Live interpretation will be provided for Anglophone attendees.

b) This event will be recorded, with the intention to make the recording available to a wider online audience at a later date.
