Stylin' Up 2011
Stylin’ UP is an Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander hip hop and R’n’B music and dance skills development, workshop and event program. The Festival is developed with and for young people from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds in Brisbane’s South West communities.
Over the past 10 years Stylin’ UP has grown to become Australia's largest Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander Hip-Hop and R&B music and dance event and a nationally significant contemporary Indigenous creative arts development program. Stylin’ UP originated as an initiative of Brisbane City Council and the Indigenous Community of Inala, and has been nurtured and developed by the Stylin’ UP Community Crew, made up of elders, community members and government representatives.
In 2010 the event drew over 10,000 attendees and participants from Inala, Brisbane and surrounding regions and from all across the country as well as official visitors and community members from Logan, Hopevale, Cherbourg, and Woorabinda through the Stylin’ UP Regional Program.
Stylin’ UP is a multifaceted process, which engages the entire community from Elders through to children. Alongside the high profile public event exists a developmental workshop program for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people. In 2010 the workshop programs engaged 1000 young people from Brisbane’s South West corridor.
Community ownership of Stylin’ UP is an essential element as it has built local community cultural capacity and empowerment. Since its inception, Stylin’ UP has been guided by three themes that the community valued as important to their young people:
Pride in Self
Pride in Community
Pride in Culture
Free
