Little Crazy Legs strikes an impromptu pose during Wild Style shoot, Riverside Park, Manhattan 1983: Photography by Martha Cooper

Janette Beckman, Joe Conzo, and Martha Cooper are three pioneering New York-based photographers who documented hip-hop (DJ-ing, rapping and breaking) from its early days on the streets of New York City to its emergence as a global pop cultural phenomenon. They will sit down with Sean Corcoran, curator of the new exhibition Hip Hop Revolution, to talk about their experiences capturing this innovative convergence of music, dance, art and fashion in the 1970s and ’80s, when Uptown met Downtown and cultural boundaries collided.
