Eli Jacobs-Fantauzzi, director/producer of the films Inventos: Hip Hop Cubano and Homegrown: Hip Life In Ghana has decided to broaden the reach of his groundbreaking documentaries by using the films€™ popularity to inspire support for progressive Hip Hop communities around the world.
Eli recently completed one year of touring with Inventos: Hip Hop Cubano nationally and internationally, holding screenings in theaters, community centers, universities, high schools, and group homes. The Inventos Sankofa Tour will launch this July in Columbia, making its way to Venezuela, Dominican Republic, and other islands in the Caribbean. With your support, we will be able to travel in order to donate much needed equipment and resources to artists who inspire and uplift the international Hip Hop community.
Global Hip Hop is often faced with the challenge of having to create without proper technological tools and media resources. The Inventos Sankofa Tour hopes to mobilize our communities€™ outstanding network of audiences, aficionados, and supporters to donate the tools and equipment needed to keep the spirit of perseverance, innovation, and free flowing creativity alive in Hip Hop communities worldwide.
Individuals and organizations have signed on to this effort, but your support is needed to make this a reality!
