Immersing viewers in the world of hip-hop through contemporary art and fashion, The Culture: Hip Hop and Contemporary Art in the 21st Century brings together contemporary artists, musicians, designers and stylists to tell the story of the art form and its global impact on visual culture. Placing fashion, consumer marketing, music, videos and objects in dialogue with paintings, sculpture, poetry, photography and multi-media installations, the exhibition considers activism and racial identity, notions of bling and swagger, as well as gender, sexuality and feminism.
The Toronto presentation is organized by the Art Gallery of Ontario. This Spotify playlist features a selection of twenty songs from the soundscape produced by musician Wendel Patrick which can be heard throughout the AGO presentation of The Culture. Accessible large-print formats of selected texts for each exhibition content area are available in English and French coming soon.
