‘Hip-Hop: Conscious, Unconscious’ Opening

‘Hip-Hop: Conscious, Unconscious’,
Opening January 26, 2023

@fotografiska.newyork together with @massappeal and @hiphop50 have collaborated to create the definitive destination for celebrating hip-hop’s global impact on visual expression – a traveling exhibition and immersive experience bringing together a roster of artists who have documented this cultural phenomenon.
On view through May 2023, ‘Hip-Hop: Conscious, Unconscious’ features over 200 photographs, and traces the rise and proliferation of hip-hop through five decades of work from trailblazing image-makers who helped codify hip-hop as the most influential pop culture movement of its generation.
Taking over two museum floors, the exhibition is presented in collaboration with Chase Marriott Bonvoy credit cards and adds to Mass Appeal’s Hip Hop 50 cross-platform initiative – a manifestation of the company’s commitment to celebrating the culture in the most authentic and globally impactful way possible.

Thank You @ icp for hosting a great night of Hip Hop Photography, told in our own voices by the photographers that captured some of the most iconic images to date! The narrative of Hip Hop (even before it was called Hip Hop) documented by the creators of the visuals are often overlooked. You can’t tell the story without the visuals! Shout out to @julieinstagrahame for moderating the panel all that came out to support and soak up some knowledge. More to come from the documentary visionaries of @marthacoopergram @janettephoto and the kid from The South Bronx! #NYC #HipHop #Punk #Graff #Visionaries #StreetPlay #Photography #Activism #HipHopPhotographyCollective thank you @mikefromperu for the HipHopCollective shot!

Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it”

This photograph of Malcolm X is one of my most cherished photos I have given to my grandmother Evelina Antonetty by the phenomenal photographer Frank Espada. Photographed in Brooklyn 1964 he was assassinated a year later. #MalcomX #CivilRights #Freedom #HappyHeavenlyBirthday
