In honor of Hip Hop’s 50th anniversary, Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning (JCAL) will present Paths of Rhythm, a pop-up Hip Hop museum featuring artifacts from Queens collector Geechie Dan, Co-Chairman of the Hip Hop Hall Of Fame and former Executive Director of the National Hip Hop Museum in Washington, DC.

Curated by Geechie Dan and JCAL Director of Program Operations Wendy Arimah Berot, Paths of Rhythm is made possible through support from New York City Council Member Nantasha Williams. The pop-up museum will highlight the storied history of Hip Hop, particularly its deep roots in the borough of Queens. Featuring with original items from Geechie Dan’s vast collection, including British Walkers and cassette tapes with authentic audio dating back to the 1970s, the museum takes visitors on a journey into the sound, that has vibrated throughout the borough for half a century.
