Operating as both an artist collective and a television/film production company, our work is anchored in Hip Hop Culture, Archeology, and Ethnographic research.
We make it our mission to demystify preconceived notions about Indigenous and underserved communities around the globe. Working in innovative ways, Nation19 have developed a model that merges Activism, Edutainment, and Visual Anthropology.
