📚 Lecture: “When Cultures Collide: The Emergence of Hip Hop in NYC”

🎤 Speaker: Author and Professor, Jeff Rabhan

Step back in time with Jeff Rabhan as he uncovers the vibrant and eclectic origins of hip hop, a genre that could only have been birthed in New York City. From B-boys and break dancers to the iconic figures of Basquiat and Fab 5 Freddie, this talk will explore the perfect storm of cultures that converged to create hip hop over 50 years ago.

Discover the unique venues, legendary moments, and unexpected players—such as Warhol—who contributed to this dynamic scene. Jeff will reveal how high art and outsider art, alongside the influences of punk rock and early hip hop greats, came together to shape America’s greatest cultural contribution to the world.

Jeff Rabhan has extensive experience in the music and entertainment industry, specializing in artist development and management for global superstars. As an author, trusted advisor, and professor, he is a leader in experiential education.

Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to dive into the cultural history of hip hop in NYC!
