In the wake of hip hop’s 50th anniversary, the Cincinnati Art Museum is hosting a groundbreaking exhibition exploring the genre’s extraordinary influence on contemporary society over the past two decades.
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, 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.
The exhibition is guest curated by Jason Rawls, EdD, originally a Cincinnatian, who is an Assistant Professor at The Ohio State University in the Department of African American & African Studies and the School of Music, a DJ himself (aka J. Rawls), an author, and a prolific record producer.
