At "HipHop vs Neoliberalism," Rebel Diaz, alongside Amanda Cea and Victor Chanfreau, leaders in the Chilean student movement, shared their profound insights. Our event at the King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center Auditorium became a platform for discussing the transformational wave in Chile, which is trying to rewrite a constitution born from the neoliberal model that was imposed on the country after the miltary coup in 1973. This powerful exchange underscored HipHop's role in political activism and the global fight for systemic change, energizing all present to continue the push for rewriting the narratives of the past.
