The exhibition “Hip Hop: Conscious, Unconscious,” presented by Fotografiska Berlin in collaboration with Mass Appeal, promises to be an interesting exploration of hip hop’s cultural impact and evolution. Opening on September 20, 2024, and running until January 26, 2025, this exhibit will show visitors hip hop’s history, tracing its roots from the Bronx in the 1970s to its emergence as a global cultural and economic phenomenon. With 200 photographs by over 50 distinguished photographers, the exhibition will spotlight the genre’s most iconic figures, such as the Beastie Boys, Lauryn Hill, Tupac Shakur, Erykah Badu, and Kendrick Lamar.

The retrospective highlights how hip hop has served as a platform for marginalized voices, offering a form of expression that unites individuals through shared experiences and struggles. The origins of hip hop are traced back to a pivotal event on August 11, 1973, when DJ Kool Herc hosted a party in the Bronx, laying the groundwork for what would become a powerful cultural movement. Through its multiple chapters, the exhibition emphasizes the revolutionary potential of hip hop, illustrating how it has become a conscious movement that confronts societal oppression. The featured photographs move beyond a simple historical timeline, highlighting how hip hop has continuously evolved as a tool for empowerment.

An exclusive addition to the Berlin showing is the segment titled “Hip Hop in Deutschland,” which documents the development of German rap from the 1980s to the present. This segment offers a unique perspective on the growth of hip hop in Germany through documentary photography, portraits, and interactive elements. It highlights five distinct phases, including the early hip hop jams of the 1980s, the golden era of the late 1990s, and the diverse and innovative scene of today.

“Hip Hop: Conscious, Unconscious” does not solely focus on mainstream images but also on rare and lesser-known moments, presenting a comprehensive look at hip hop’s influence on pop culture, as well as the unsung heroes who have contributed to the genre’s rich and complex history. The exhibit seeks to capture the transformative power of hip hop, honoring those who have helped shape its legacy.

EXHIBITIONS

Sacha Jenkins, an American filmmaker and co-founder of ego trip magazine, plays a significant role in this exhibition. Jenkins, known for his work documenting hip hop, graffiti, punk, and metal cultures, has been a key figure in bringing the story of hip hop to the masses. His creative vision and dedication to showcasing the depth of hip hop culture have made him an influential voice in the community.

Berman’s experience as the Photo Director at XXL Magazine and her current role as Visual Director at Men’s Health highlight her expertise in visual storytelling which strongly contribute to “Hip Hop: Conscious, Unconscious” exhibition at Fotografiska Berlin.
