“The Gift”

Celebrating 50 Years of Hip Hop Culture

This exhibition will delve into the global impact of hip hop culture and its undeniable influence.  Its roots in blackness and rebellion speaks through the music, migration, fashion, and art.  From fighting to be heard to now being the voice of generations, we must honor the influence and appreciate all that has come from this art form. It's our gift to the the world! 

The exhibition is currently open in person and virtually (in collaboration with Microsoft) allowing the works and narratives accessible to patrons around the world!

Featuring original works by Horace Imhotep, Alfred Conteh, Michi Meko, Petie Parker, Charlotte Riley-Webb, Maurice Evans, Nathan Addley, Michael Reese, collaborative works by Charly Palmer with D.L. Warfield and Charly Palmer with Paper Frank
