EVENT, SCREENING
Founding Fathers
Ongoing
Digital projection. Though the commonly accepted history of hip-hop culture places its origins with DJ Kool Herc in the Bronx, Hassan Pore and Ron “Amen-Ra” Lawrence’s eye-opening new documentary Founding Fathers expands the scope of the story by looking at influential artists from Queens and Brooklyn, including the Disco Twins, Dance Master, and Grand Master Flowers, whose reputation in popular histories of hip-hop has never matched their importance.
Tickets for Friday evening screenings: $10 ($7.50 for senior citizens and students) and includes admission to the Museum’s galleries, which are open until 8:00 p.m.
