I also visited this exhibit in April and am working on a reflection for my newsletter as well -- your writing has repeatedly coincided with my own endeavors, and the photo of Eve was also one of my favorites. I spent the most time on the top floor watching the Video Music Box interviews; I wish we still had that type of media. Thank you for sharing this - I will link this in my reflection as well :)
I also loved watching the Video Music Box interviews! It made me so nostalgic and I'm glad they featured it since Ralph McDaniels played a huge role in covering hip hop as it evolved over the decades. I also want to watch the 2021 documentary about Music Video Box—have you seen it? I can't wait to read what you write about this exhibit. I'm a subscriber :) but also please feel free to link it here when you post!

Great writeup - loved your description of the Wyclef & Hill picture.
Thank you!
Come for the nostalgic trip down hip hop memory lane, stay for Elspeth’s breakdown of how composition and focal points work.
So much greatness! Impossible to pick a favorite.
