Join us at 2 p.m. on July 26 at the Woody Guthrie Center for a special presentation by Adam Bradley, co-curator of the GRAMMY Museum®’s “Hip-Hop America: The Mixtape Exhibit.” Bradley will offer a behind-the-scenes look at how this exhibit was created and curated, highlighting the powerful role of hip-hop in shaping the sound and culture over the past 50 years. He will explore how the exhibit blends music, history and visual art to tell the story of hip-hop as a force for creativity, identity and social change. Drawing from his acclaimed work as a scholar and author, including collaborations with artists like Common, Bradley will provide unique insight into the poetic and cultural significance of the genre. This event will be a must-attend for anyone interested in music, storytelling and the legacy of hip-hop.
