Just over two years ago, photographer Michelle Grace Hunder began the concept of her Australian Hip hop photo book RISE.
Through the unprecedented support of both artists and fans via a Pozible campaign, Michelleʼs dream of creating the first book dedicated to portraying musicians within the Australian Hip hop community is now a long-awaited reality.
To mark the occasion, Hunder has embarked on the next stage of RISE – a national tour. Her longtime friends Remi, Briggs, Mantra & Grey Ghost are hitting the road in August, along with Dylan Joel, Jaytee, Flagrant, Alex Jones and Mistress of Ceremony.
The tour will have each artist perform action-packed mini-sets.
Each leg of the tour will feature the RISE Cypher with surprise guest artists (also featured in the RISE book) taking to the stage, freestyling a performance of their choice. The cypher performers will be kept secret until the actual show, until then itʼs going to be a guessing game.
