Hip Hop Talk Concert on Climate Change-Tipping point

This program was a hip-hop performance and talk featuring Ignito in collaboration with Greenpeace East Asia Seoul, as part of the 10th Seoul Mediacity Biennale Eu Zên.

Climate change is the most serious global environmental crisis. The average temperature of the earth has risen by more than 1˚C since industrialization. Unless we prevent the final temperature increase from reaching 1.5˚C, the volume of glaciers will rapidly decrease, increasing the extent of natural disasters, including famine, floods, torrential rain, and typhoon. The sea level will continue to rise, and eco-diversity will decrease, ultimately driving human life into catastrophe. However, the world cannot effectively respond to this climate crisis. For a good life, we first need to respond properly to climate change and make fundamental changes in the economic structure, transportation system, and energy system of society. Through the musical structure of rap and hip-hop, Ignito’s two songs describe the way we need to respond to climate change.

The music video of Tipping Point was produced by the collaboration of Greenpeace East Asia Seoul Office. During the Biennale, it was exhibited at SEOULLO MEDIA CANVAS. Additionally, the performance Climate Change Hiphop Talk Concert–Tipping Point communicated the issues of climate change to the audience.
