In honor of hip hop's 50th anniversary, a new Fotografiska exhibition showcases some of the most pivotal moments and faces of the movement. The show includes early-1970s South Bronx street photos, Nicki Minaj at a Brooklyn diner in 2008, De La Soul in front of The Apollo (1993), Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean on a Harlem rooftop working on the Fugees’ debut album (1993) and more. Curators Sally Berman and Sacha Jenkins join us to talk about the exhibition, Hip Hop: Conscious, Unconscious, running until May 21.
