hip-hop/dont stop


This Saturday at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, Jeff Chang, author of Can't Stop Won't Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation and poet Marc Bamuthi Joseph are giving a highly anticipated talk on the "power of hip-hop to reshape the American and global cultural landscape at this historic moment in US politics."

As a budding cultural critic and art-historian who is excited to see cultural producers and scholars break down the barriers and reveal the intersectionality between both worlds, I will undoubtedly be in attendance.
