ART 1120 - Art and Hip Hop


Hip Hop culture has profoundly influenced art since the 1970s. Hip hop has given voice to new art forms and new approaches to existing artistic practices. Its underlying concepts have been adapted worldwide into art unique to diverse geographic and cultural locales. Art and Hip Hop will explore this phenomenon within the context of traditional and contemporary art; polyculturalism and multiculturalism; activism and politics; and gender and race.
