Rap, at its core, has always been an instrument for popular education, politicization, and public discussion, especially from voices unheard. Julien Boyer often uses rap and hip-hop as a pedagogical tool to bring together multiple voices, languages, emergencies and to build political/poetic narratives, in a ludic way.

He brought his gear for field-rec sessions to the Threshold Gathering and making a collective rap song became a way to reflect together on the events of the year that we were about to conclude. Which events left deep traces in us? Which of them will carve our potential futures? This exercise arrived also from practice of Polit-Informatsia.

This piece was recorded on New Year's eve while the group prepared a feast, cooked food, and prepared an Italian-style dinner long table for over 50 people.  Guests, friends, family members, comrades from the refugee struggle would arrive and proposed to record their part. Every-one contributed to the piece.
