The Culture: Hip Hop and Contemporary Art in the 21st Century is a catalogue published by Gregory R. Miller & Co., the Baltimore Museum of Art, and the Saint Louis Art Museum on the occasion of an exhibition of the same name. The catalogue, designed by Pacific, brings together the work of nearly 100 artists and brands to explore the influence of hip hop over the past 50 years. 

 

Contributors include author and scholar Todd Boyd (Notorious Ph.D.); multimedia producer and performer TT the Artist, poet Danez Smith, stylist Misa Hylton, choreographer Sean Bankhead, deaf hip hop dancer Shaheem Sanchez, Canadian rapper from the Muskoday First Nation Eekwol Lindsay Knight, Muslim poet/rap activist Mona Haydar, and visual artists Devin Allen, Jacolby Satterwhite, and Murjoni Merriweather. The catalog also includes a transcript of a roundtable of national and international curators who have mounted exhibitions about hip hop in the last two decades: Franklin Sirmans and Lydia Yee, Valerie Cassel Oliver, René De Guzman, Martha Diaz, Carol Tulloch, and Aurélie Clemente-Ruiz.
