Last night (June 23), in Brooklyn, NY at The Bishop Gallery, the creative vision of Professor Q, who curates the established Hip-Hop archive, Albee Square 87, hosted its first photography exhibition. An array of influential people from the worlds of Hip-Hop and Art, like Just Blaze, converged upon the scene. They enjoyed both the kaleidoscope of creativity as well as the free-flowing drinks provided by, Heineken.
Sharing a reminiscent reflection of yesteryear’s Brooklyn, the low-resolution photography depicted everything from street kings to the then en-trend fashions. Introspective lenses highlights different political and socio-economic factors that have impacted Hip-Hop’s culture. Poignant topics such as “Each 1 Teach One,” to “Fallen Soldiers,” and “Incarcerated Scarface,” made up the eight sections of the exhibition.
