Join us as we bring together hip-hop artists, poets, scholars, and more in a series of talks designed to explore the themes of our temporary exhibition “The Dirty South: Contemporary Art, Material Culture, and the Sonic Impulse.” From artistic insights to behind-the-scenes stories, you’ll experience just what “The Dirty South” is all about. 🙌

“The Dirty South” is organized by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts: Valerie Cassel Oliver, VMFA’s Sydney and Frances Lewis Family Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art.

“The Dirty South” is sponsored at Crystal Bridges by Harrison and Rhonda French Family; Ramsay, Jaquita, and Sarah Ball; Catherine and Stephan Roche; Esther Silver-Parker; Deborah Wright.

This project is supported in part by a grant from the Arkansas Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
