Start your weekend with Friday Night LIVE! On each third Friday of the month you will be welcome at the Kunsthal for an exciting and inspiring programme infused with a generous dose of art. For each edition a different Rotterdam partner will be running the show. On Friday 17 January Hiphop In Je Smoel will be pulling the strings! The exhibition Thomas J Price. Matter of Place serves as the source of inspiration for this evening.
The Rotterdam-based online hip hop platform Hiphop In Je Smoel (HIJS) is celebrating its 25th anniversary and invites everyone to join in the celebration of hip hop culture at the Kunsthal. For a quarter of a century, HIJS has been a dynamic platform focused on the current state of Dutch hip hop culture. Over the years, HIJS has taken on many forms: from a hip hop book publisher and party organizer to a spoken word platform, street art curator, production house, and educator. This versatility forms the foundation for Friday Night LIVE x Hiphop In Je Smoel!

Hiphop In Je Smoel
Since 1999, Hiphop in je Smoel (HIJS) has been the go-to platform for hip hop culture enthusiasts. What began as an initiative by passionate hip hop fans has grown into a leading platform closely following both the national and international hip hop scene. Over the past 25 years, HIJS has become one of the key players in the Dutch hip hop landscape, with its core being the website Hiphop in je Smoel. HIJS is a multimedia hip hop platform dedicated to connecting hip hop lovers in various ways and sharing knowledge about hip hop culture. In addition to showcasing and supporting artists, HIJS also provides talented journalists, photographers, and videographers the opportunity to develop their skills. Since 2001, HIJS has been organizing a range of events to further enrich the hip hop community.
Thomas J Price. Matter of Place
The exhibition Matter of Place presents an impressive overview of the British artist Thomas J. Price (1981, London). With his subtle yet powerful works across various media, including sculpture, performance, photography, and animation, Price continuously pushes the boundaries of material, scale, and presentation. His work focuses on themes such as representation, identity, and the influence of power in society.
During Friday Night LIVE, film and photo recordings will be made. By attending the event, you agree to the use of these film and photo materials by Kunsthal Rotterdam and Hiphop In Je Smoel.
