Changemaker event: Coffee and Tour of Close to the Edge

Join us at MODA for coffee and a Changemaker-exclusive tour of our current exhibition, Close to the Edge: The Birth of Hip-Hop Architecture. Led by MODA educator Lakeem Winborne, the tour will be a deeper dive into the projects that exemplify Hip-Hop Architecture and the cultural movement that informs them.

Close to the Edge takes a look at the practice of Hip-Hop Architecture, a movement that utilizes the spirit and energy of hip-hop in its approach to design. The exhibition spotlights 25 designers at the forefront of the movement and shows how the four pillars of hip-hop–deejaying, emceeing, b-boying, and graffiti–translate into the built environment.

About MODA’s Changemaker Circle

At least three times a year, MODA's Changemaker Circle gets together to socialize, tour designers' studios, learn about MODA initiatives and exhibits firsthand, and engage with top designers and other influential figures in the field of design.

Members of our Changemaker Circle include donors who have contributed $500 or more annually to help MODA in all areas of our work.
