Coinciding with Washington State Hip Hop History Month, MoPOP’s POP+ programming is exploring womxn in the art form and the culture this November through POP+ Hip Hop: Celebrating the Queens, presented by First Tech Federal Credit Union.

Through programs, performances, artifacts, and panel discussions, discover how—despite being marginalized, underpaid, underrepresented, and underrated in hip hop music and culture for decades—womxn have always been integral to the art form and the culture. We will be displaying artifacts from our hip hop collections on site at MoPOP, as well as hosting digital events for hip hop lovers of every age (check out all our online activations below!).
