An intimate creative experience blending hip-hop culture, film, and hands-on art.
About this Event

Join us at Cafe Cino DC (inside PLNTR) for a guided workshop where guests will design and create their own paper mâché microphone sculpture, inspired by the legacy and visual language of hip-hop. 🎤

We’ll begin with a short hip-hop–focused film screening to set the tone, then transition into a step-by-step sculpting and design session. This experience is relaxed, art-forward, and intentionally limited to keep the atmosphere personal and immersive.

No prior art experience is necessary.
