RESPECT YO SISTAA! - Respect yourself
Together we stand i.s.m. CAMPO
Respect yo sistaa! is a brand new hip-hop festival with a focus on female artists. Be prepared for some dance, slam poetry, workshops, rap, beatbox and performances by artists such as Soe Nsuki, Les Mybalés, Yiphun Chiem, Nephtys and Dj Kisa for everyone who’s willing to participate. That is exactly what hip-hop is all about: exchanging, giving and sharing with respect.
Together we stand is Karim Kalonji and Sam De Waele. They created a platform for young breakdancers, but other elements from hip-hop-culture – graffiti, mc’ing, dj’ing – can be found in their projects.

Twin sisters Doris and Nathalie Bokongo Nkumu, aka Les Mybalés, are familiar faces. These hip hop dancers pair elegance and grace with moments of violent intensity. As twins, they feel connected by a shared history and a deep complicity. For À travers l’autre they set out to investigate the meaning and symbolism of ‘twinship’ in various cultures. Their investigation has sprouted a poetic performance, that draws you into the extraordinary universe of these sisters.
