This event has ended.

Hip Hop Feminists [a term coined by Joan Morgan] move beyond a simple critique of misogyny in rap and embrace the vitality of race, gender, class, urbanism, and youth culture as a critical matrix that we can use to make sense of the world and change power relations.[i] Claiming a kaleidoscopic worldwide following across affiliations of race, age, nationality, and class, hip-hop is a vital source of popular pedagogy linking political, economic, and social justice to cultural crossover.”

This exhibition was the winning selection of the 2012 Open Call for Curatorial Proposals. This program provides one deserving curator the necessary time and resources to realize an innovative project, with the aim of encouraging curatorial research in tandem with exhibition planning. The proposal was unanimously selected by a jury comprised of artist Sanford Biggers; art critic Lynn Crawford; Phong Bui, Publisher of The Brooklyn Rail; and Rocio Aranda-Alvarado, Associate Curator, El Museo del Barrio.
Special thanks to A.I.R. Gallery & MoMA PS1.
