To the hip, hip-hop and you don’t stop…
Join us in celebrating Hip-Hop culture, with showcases from local DJ Dessaline, DJ Wes (Wesovertheworld), MCs, and more. Produced by Bucketlist Society and presented by Helms Bakery District, SoCal NOMA, and the A+D Museum at Close to the Edge: The Birth of Hip-Hop Architecture. Curated and designed by Sekou Cooke, this dynamic exhibition dives into the rich and vibrant world of hip-hop — emceeing, b-boying, and graffiti — and explores its influence on the world of design and architecture. The 50th birthday party highlights all the elements of the cultural force that is hip hop.
