February is coming to a close and with it Black History month, but you can still get in on the festivities and experience the rich culture and history of the black community in Brooklyn.
The Creative Side and Calabar Imports in partnership with BKLYN Commons present Destination Bed Stuy: Art, Hip-Hop & Murals. The event is an exploratory symposium highlighting Brooklyn’s contribution to Hip Hop Culture through the lens of art. It takes place on Saturday, Feb. 23, at BKLYN Commons, 7 Marcus Garvey Blvd, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
The event, sponsored by BKLYN Commons, Brooklyn Cooperative Federal Credit Union and WLBS-FM, is free and open to the public and will explore the history of graffiti art and its acceptance into the world of mural painting while introducing some of the medium’s artists, curators and cultural enthusiasts.
