Homegrown @ urbis


homegrown @ urbis

This exhibition was an interesting history and development of the UK hip hop scene, covering loads of stuff through loads of different mediums...well worth a look, it's shame the Urbis is making way, in its current form, for the National Football Museum, could do with more stuff like this! As if we don't have enough football everywhere - representative of the nation?
Anyway the exhibition gives a real insight into a scene which I for one, coming from a totally different background, was totally ignorant of the depth, reach and complexity of. The collection of photos, videos music and memorabilia really brought the place to life and a true flava of the underground culture that has grown out from its American roots.
I wonder what other subcultures I don't know much about?
