about us

Since its foundation in 2007, Pottporus has been dedicated solely to hip hop. As a driving force and mediator of all art forms rooted in hip hop culture, we create new styles and forms of performance.


For our stage productions, legendary battles, festivals and projects, we work with urban dancers, choreographers and directors, with graffiti and street artists, with DJs, rappers and spoken word artists - locally, nationally and internationally.
