The Chicago Hip Hop Heritage Museum is a collaborative effort between Custom Resources, ChiRock Nation, Chicago Respect Our Creative Kids Kings, and Diverse City to commemorate the 18th annual Hip Hop Heritage Month in July. Curated by Carrico Kingdom Sanders, Darrell Artistic Roberts, and Brian Gorman, the museum showcases decades of photos, flyers, and memorabilia from their personal collections, highlighting the vibrant history and cultural impact of the Hip Hop community in Chicago.
Through the elements of Hip Hop, including visual arts, performance, music, and dance, the museum pays homage to the influential figures and creative outlets that have served as alternatives to negativity since the 70s. From Graf writers to emcee rappers, DJs, radio personalities, and dancers, the Chicago Hip Hop Heritage Museum celebrates the transformative power of Hip Hop and its role in providing a therapeutic escape from the realities of gangs and drugs.
