Sometimes something great starts with one inspiring visit. For example, while walking around Museum Batavialand, Clémens from Hiphop Comics became captivated by our stories about water, struggle and innovation. That moment became the starting point for The Battle against the Zuiderzee: a hip-hop comic created together with first-year students from Porteum.
Will you come to the unveiling of this fictional comic book – and soundtrack – which focuses on the origins of Lelystad?
Hiphop Comics is a creative collective consisting of illustrator Laurens van Walbeek, rap duo Rime Riche and beatmaker De Grijze Muis. They make comics with accompanying soundtracks and regularly use them within education to stimulate language, art and culture among young people.
Fighting the Zuiderzee is made possible in part by Kunstlink, Museum Batavialand, FlevoMeer Library Lelystad, Porteum, Dicecream and The Cube.
