Enjoy an evening of culture and conversation at Art of Hip Hop, Miami’s newest cultural exhibition space and world’s leading destination dedicated to celebrating Hip Hop’s visual artists.
Join in for a talk with Mike Miller who will discuss his lengthy career shooting intimate portraits that chronicle the rise of the West Coast Hip Hop scene. Miller is slated to reveal “NWA Outtakes” of the group’s 10th anniversary album cover and release a new poster featuring the iconic “Devil’s Chariot” 1967 Chevrolet Impala at the historic Sixth Street Viaduct, offering a rare glimpse into the cultural fabric that shaped an entire music movement.
This special discussion, poster release, and signing, set against the backdrop of a body of Miller’s seminal work, will take place on Friday, Apr. 26, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., moderated by Art of Hip Hop co-founder Alan Ket. These images, which have only been shared online, have never been exhibited in a gallery or museum setting, making this event a premiere viewing opportunity.
From his early work with jazz legends to his deep-rooted connection with such hip-hop icons as Tupac Shakur, Eazy-E, and Snoop Dogg, Miller’s photographs are a testament to a pivotal era in music history. With pieces held in esteemed collections such as the New York Public Library and The Smithsonian, Miller’s influence and impact on the arts are undeniable.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to explore the time, culture, and community that birthed West Coast rap, through discussions and insights from the visionary Mike Miller himself.
Art of Hip Hop is located at 299 NW 25 St. in the Wynwood Art District.
