SEATTLE, WA\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0– The Museum of Pop Culture is hosting the traveling exhibition\u00a0Contact High: A Visual History Of Hip-Hop<\/em>.\u00a0 Contact High explores four decades of photography, from the late 1970s to today, documenting a revolution not just in music, but in politics, race relations, fashion, and culture. Through more than 170 iconic images of hip-hop’s most influential artists (Missy Elliott, Jay-Z, Queen Latifah, Tupac, and more) \u2014 including contact sheets that give us a rare glimpse into the creative process of a photo session \u2014\u00a0Contact High<\/em>\u00a0examines the evolution of hip-hop, connecting us with the experiences, identities, and places that have shaped the world\u2019s most popular music genre and will be at MoPop until March, 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The exhibition is included in MoPOP general admission or with a MoPOP membership. Details >>\u00a0http:\/\/mopop.org\/contacthigh<\/a><\/div>\n
While the music was establishing itself as a cultural force, photographers were on the scene, documenting the urban spaces where hip-hop came alive. The music reflected everyday experience; the images captured and memorialized it, providing a necessary perspective \u2014 sometimes empowering, sometimes controversial.<\/div>\n
A single image can define a decisive moment, creating an instant icon. And that\u2019s exactly the point. Photography has helped shape hip-hop, which has always been about self-definition. Press photos and album covers announce the arrival of the style, swagger, bravado, singularity, and artistry that help the performer become an icon. For this genre that speaks truth to power, reclaims and concretizes identity, idealizes self-representation, and visualizes political rhetoric, the images are inseparable from the music.<\/div>\n
Today, moments become decisive on Instagram, and the shift to digital photography has made the contact sheet pretty much obsolete. Contact High pays tribute to the way a new genre reinvented popular music\u2014back when nobody knew where hip-hop could go or how long it might last, back before hip-hop exploded worldwide.<\/div>\n
\u201cHip-hop is more than music, encompassing fashion, politics, identity, and self-expression, and Contact High celebrates the richness of this cultural force,\u201d said MoPOP Curator Amalia Kozloff. \u201cMost importantly, hip-hop continues to deliver on its original mission: to give voice to everyday people and communities, which is essential to contemporary calls for racial and social justice.\u201d<\/div>\n
Exhibition highlights include:<\/div>\n
    \n
  • Exclusive images of some of hip-hop\u2019s biggest influences, including Missy Elliot, Jay-Z, Queen Latifah, Kanye West, and Tupac Shakur.<\/li>\n
  • More than 75 unedited contact sheets ranging from Barron Claiborne\u2019s iconic Notorious B.I.G. portraits to images of Aaliyah, Wu-Tang Clan, Sir Mix-A-Lot, and Kanye West.<\/li>\n
  • The Dapper Dan jacket made for Rakim and MF DOOM\u2019s mask.<\/li>\n
  • In addition to photographs, artifacts from MoPOP\u2019s permanent collection such as early rap battle fliers, Grandmaster Flash\u2019s turntables, Tupac Shakur manuscripts, Flavor magazines, and costumes from Sha-Rock and The Notorious B.I.G., add to our understanding of hip-hop culture.<\/li>\n
  • A documentary short film featuring Contact High photographers at work and in conversation, including Barron Claiborne, Brian \u201cB+\u201d Cross, Eric Coleman, Estevan Oriol, Jorge Peniche, Jamel Shabazz, Janette Beckman, Joe Conzo, Jack McKain, Dana Scruggs, and Danny Clinch. The film is produced by the Annenberg Foundation and Radical Media.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
