As part of Juneteenth on the Ave., presented by Maroon Arts Group and located in the historic Bronzeville community, Foundation to Future will celebrate the 50th anniversary of hip hop by diving into its historical, cultural, and creative impact on the world through art historical archiving, technology immersion, and music and arts enrichment programming and activities. This is in collaboration with and presented by Irrepressible Soul/Urban Arts Space, Sole Classics, Black Footwear Forum, Canvaas, the OSU Department of African American and African Studies, the OSU AAAS Community Extension Center, and the Columbus Music Commission.
Irrepressible Soul is a collaborative project, introspective exhibition, and community-engaged event with critical and reflexive programming centered around recognizing and celebrating the complex and intersectional Black experience and identity. Through arts immersion and culturally responsive exhibitions, Irrepressible Soul hopes to help create a better understanding surrounding “Blackness” through art and creative dialogue.
