The Culture: Hip Hop & Contemporary Art in the 21'st Century Book

$55.00
Excl. tax

A sweeping survey of hip hop’s resounding impact on contemporary art and culture across the past 20-plus years.

Accompanying a groundbreaking exhibition originating at the Baltimore Museum of Art, this book captures the extraordinary influence of hip hop, which has driven innovations in music, visual and performing arts, fashion, and technology and grown into a global phenomenon since its emergence in the 1970s. It features approximately 70 objects by both established and emerging artists, design houses, streetwear icons and musicians working in a wide range of mediums to demonstrate hip hop’s proliferation from the street to the runway, the studio to the museum gallery, and countless sites in between. The exhibition also explores how hip hop has and continues to challenge structures of power, dominant cultural narratives, and political and social systems of oppression.


This fully illustrated monograph documents the exhibition and contains texts and interviews from more than 30 artists and scholars.
