Homegrown-exhibition-manchester








I went to the homegrown- the story of uk hip hop exhibition in the urbis museum in manchester. I absolutely loved the exhibition. It was a good mixture between reading and videos and music and I learned a lot about uk hip hop.


HomeGrown: The Story of UK Hip Hop is the first major exhibition to chronicle, in depth, the development of the UK Hip Hop scene. Looking back over three decades, the exhibition tells the story of how a generation of youth took the spirit of the Bronx block party and fused it with their own uniquely British influences. In doing so it shows how a US subculture featuring art, politics, rhyme, dance and music was adopted, adapted and embraced to create a powerful, complex, cultural force, this side of theAtlantic. Working with the UK's most influential figures in Hip Hop the exhibition brings together the rare, remarkable and irreplaceable in Hip Hop photography, music, film and fashion from the best private collections.
