About this Event
This event is an invitation to journey through time, offering attendees the opportunity to leave their mark on hip-hop’s evolving legacy. Through the creation of a time capsule, participants can send a message directly to the hip-hop community of 2040, bridging generations through storytelling, sound, and collective memory.
Immersive and interactive experiences will guide attendees through hip-hop’s past, present, and future—honoring its roots, amplifying its current voices, and envisioning what lies ahead. This event is both an archive and a prophecy, capturing the spirit of a culture that has always been about innovation, resilience, and revolution.
