Hosted by Arielle Gray, arts engagement producer for WBUR's The Artery, and filmed in the exhibition galleries, this four-part virtual series features performers who build on hip-hop’s multidisciplinary history, which encompasses MC-ing, DJ-ing, breakdancing and graffiti.
Each concert explores how different generations expand on and redefine early hip-hop, carving out a space for unique contributions to this global cultural movement. Half the proceeds from the concerts go directly to the musicians.
