I talk with Atlanta Creatives Project Founder and curator Neda Abghari about what moved her to start the organization and we also delve into the state of the Atlanta arts community as well. I caught up with B-boy Quic, of the Funklordz , Zapper (HBO crew) and Alpha Trion to find out about Atlanta Breakdancing History from the early ’80s to the present day. It’s an interesting look at how Breakdancing was born, nearly died and came back to life in an unusual way here in the city of Atlanta. The B-boy piece is part of a larger Documentary celebrating 30 years of Atlanta Hip Hop from ‘79-’09 we’re tentatively calling Telling it like it T-I-is: Atlanta Hip Hop from ‘79-til, which is a collaboration between myself here at Abenghorn Media Productions (A.M.P) and my good friend Kamal Secret at Black Static Films. Look for trailers and video tidbits from us in the near future on the project.For more on Atlanta Breakdancing culture check:
