Calls from Home Calls from Home
Every December, Holler to the Hood artists and WMMT-FM host a three-hour live call-in program which gives family members of prisoners incarcerated in central Appalachia and beyond the opportunity to broadcast holiday messages to their loved one. This year we are offering the program to stations across the nation! Please click above to see how you can help.
Hip-Hip/Hill-Hop Hip-Hip/Hill-Hop
In an effort to explore the intersections between rural and urban cultures, Holler to the Hood brought together Dirk Powell, a traditional Appalachian musician, and DanjaMowf, a hip-hop rapper and producer, to collaborate on combining the two types of music. Grounded in the distinct hip-hop and Appalachian cultural traditions in which the artists are immersed, the music seeks to explore, compare, and articulate the struggles and issues of contemporary rural and urban communities that have been juxtaposed through the political maneuvering of the American justice system.
Thousand Kites Thousand Kites
Thousand Kites seeks to address the issue of the invisibility of a growing U.S. prison population and the hidden impacts of the prison industry on poor urban communities and the poor rural communities where a disproportionate number of the prisons are sited. The project will work in both urban and rural communities and will help create a play script using a community story-circle process that will be mirrored in virtual space to provide access for all voices to participate.  The play will premiere simultaneously in 10-20 prisons and prison communities nationally, and a special sampling will be broadcast nationally on 100 public radio stations and simulcast on the Web.
