Hip Hop Studies Summit 2022
Online Exhibition
February 2022
Guest Juror John Jennings
DUE Sunday, January 16, 2022 until 11:59pm PST
No late submissions will be accepted.
In KRS-One’s Ruminations, he contends that “Rap is something you do. Hiphop is something you live.” He also frequently reminds us that hip hop has the power to change the world. This exhibition seeks to capture some of the ways that hip hop has been (and continues to be) a part of our lives—individually, collectively, locally, broadly, intimately, publicly.
We invite artists to consider how hip hop appears, manifests itself, and/or operates within their lives as well as the power that hip hop has to spark dialogue, reflect experience, critique structure(s), envision new possibilities, and/or enact the type of change that KRS-One so famously imagines.
Submissions will be reviewed by guest juror, John Jennings. Jennings is a professor of Media and Cultural Studies at the University of California at Riverside (UCR), a NY Times bestselling author, graphic novelist, curator, Harvard Fellow, and editor. Jennings examines the visual culture of race in various media forms including film, illustrated fiction, comics and graphic novels. He is also the director of Abrams ComicArts imprint Megascope, which publishes graphic novels focused on the experiences of people of color. His research interests include the visual culture of Hip Hop, Afrofuturism and politics, Visual Literacy, Horror and the EthnoGothic, and Speculative Design and its applications to visual rhetoric.
