Days after the opening of our exhibition, our feature artist, Harry Allen, will do a talk at the University of Iowa on 1 April 2009. The UI Lecture Committee is sponsoring the talk by the multi-talent author, artist, and hip-hop activist.
Harry Allen, is a member of the influential hip-hop group Public Enemy. Known as the group’s “Media Assassin,” Allen has been a leading journalist for over two decades who has published in Vibe, The Source, Village Voice, and has been quoted on CNN, NPR, MTV, VHI, and in the Wall Street Journal as an expert in the fields of popular music and hip-hop. His photography, created during the early days of the hip-hop movement, has received scant attention until his recent decision to exhibit his work in a 2007 New York gallery show titled Part of the Permanent Record: Photos from the Previous Century by Harry Allen. We are excited and honored that Allen is sharing with the UI community his artistic work and intellectual work on hip-hop.
