About The Culture: Hip Hop and Contemporary Art in the 21st Century

The Culture: Hip Hop and Contemporary Art in the 21st Century showcases more than 90 works of art by some of today’s most important and celebrated artists —such as Roberto Lugo Carrie Mae Weems William Cordova Hassan Hajjaj and Hank Willis Thomas–and fashion brands with looks from Gucci Cross Colours and Vivienne Westwood. A range of music ephemera will also be on display.

Rooted in the origins of hip-hop in the mid-1970s as a cultural expression of Black Latinx and Afro-Latinx youth The Culture explores the transformation of contemporary art and material culture through the collision of hip-hop technology and the marketplace.
