The Greene Space at WNYC & WQXR | 50 Years of Hip-Hop Mural in NYC @GreeneSpaceNY | Uploaded August 2023 | Updated October 2024, 2 days ago.
In honor of the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop, The Greene Space presents a large-scale public mural in collaboration with the Children’s Museum of the Arts and the New York Public Library.
For this initiative, students of the local City-As-School were invited to utilize imagery from the NYPL Picture Collection. The collaborative series of murals entitled “sampling” explores visual and musical sampling –– a tradition shared by both Hip-Hop music and the visual art form of collage. Like sampling a track in a song, the students of City-As-School took pre-existing media and transformed it into their own collective artwork.
The murals are on view in the windows on Varick Street and Charlton Street throughout August 2023.
