Bostonians on "Writing the Future: Basquiat and the Hip-Hop Generation"
In March 2021, we invited our Outside the Box collaborators to experience "Writing the Future: Basquiat and the Hip-Hop Generation." Here, they share their reactions to the exhibition and discuss why it means so much to Boston.
"Writing the Future: Basquiat and the Hip-Hop Generation" brings together more than 120 works by Jean-Michel Basquiat and 11 of his peer A-One, ERO, Fab 5 Freddy, Futura, Keith Haring, Kool Koor, LA2, Lady Pink, Lee Quiñones, Rammellzee and Toxic all artists whose techniques share a conceptual approach rooted in early hip-hop practices. The exhibition is on view at the MFA through Jul25 2021
