Hip Hop: Conscious, Unconscious Exhibition at Fotografiska Berlin

Explore hip hop’s cultural journey and global impact.

POSTED BY ZOE TYLER

The exhibition Hip Hop: Conscious, Unconscious at Fotografiska Berlin takes visitors on a journey through over 50 years of hip hop culture. Launched on September 20, 2024, the exhibition brings together 200 photographs by 50+ acclaimed artists, capturing the movement’s evolution from its roots in the Bronx to becoming a global phenomenon. Curated by Sacha Jenkins and Sally Berman, the showcase features iconic figures such as Tupac Shakur, Lauryn Hill, and Kendrick Lamar.

The exhibition isn’t just a timeline of hip hop’s rise. It delves into the deeper, conscious side of the culture — highlighting how hip hop has empowered marginalized voices and sparked social change. It presents the artform not only as music but as a revolutionary tool for self-expression and empowerment.

One unique aspect of the Berlin edition is a section on Hip Hop in Deutschland, showcasing the growth of German rap from the 1980s to today. It explores how hip hop’s influence has shaped Germany’s political and cultural landscape, adding a local dimension to the global story.

For anyone interested in music, culture, or social movements, this exhibition is a must-see.

Don’t miss the chance to explore this exhibition at Fotografiska Berlin, open until January 26, 2025.
