Call for Artists: Hip Hop Studies Summit Ruminations n’ Rhythm Virtual Exhibition

Description

Description
In KRS-One’s Ruminations, he contends that “Rap is something you do. Hiphop is something you live.” He also frequently reminds us that hip hop has the power to change the world. This exhibition seeks to capture some of the ways that hip hop has been (and continues to be) a part of our lives—individually, collectively, locally, broadly, intimately, publicly.

We invite artists to consider how hip hop appears, manifests itself, and/or operates within their lives as well as the power that hip hop has to spark dialogue, reflect experience, critique structure(s), envision new possibilities, and/or enact the type of change that KRS-One so famously imagines.

Guest Juror
Submissions will be reviewed by guest juror, John Jennings.  Jennings is a professor of Media and Cultural Studies at the University of California at Riverside (UCR), a NY Times bestselling author, graphic novelist, curator, Harvard Fellow, and editor. Jennings examines the visual culture of race in various media forms including film, illustrated fiction, comics and graphic novels. He is also the director of Abrams ComicArts imprint Megascope, which publishes graphic novels focused on the experiences of people of color. His research interests include the visual culture of Hip Hop, Afrofuturism and politics, Visual Literacy, Horror and the EthnoGothic, and Speculative Design and its applications to visual rhetoric.
