MOPOP
From the boom-bap of basement tapes to breakbeats that shook global stages, Hip-Hop continues to transcend cultural barriers and inspire musical genres around the globe. This November, MOPOP invites you to a day-long celebration honoring Washington State’s Hip-Hop History Month and the debut of a special edition of MOPOP’s Guest Curator Program, Beats + Rhymes: A Collective Narrative of Hip Hop. Explore the five pillars of Hip-Hop—MCing, DJing, Graffiti, Knowledge of Self, and Breakdancing— through costumes, ephemera, photos, and more, curated by this year’s Youth Advisory Board and Guest Curators Syreeta Gates and Abstract Kouadio.
