Through the lens of hip-hop culture we will look at design, public spaces and aesthetics, with a focus on the rich cross-cultural and socio-historical exchange of material knowledge. Part of the course will be dedicated to exploring the global element of hip-hop and how Indigenous communities have taken up this art form. With a focus on convergence culture, we will examine the past to uncover the influence of hip-hop on contemporary designs. |
