In celebration of Hip-Hop History Month, round 3 of our Gaming Series brings together three powerful cultural forces: Hip-Hop, video games, and kung fu.

We’re celebrating the cross-pollination of these artforms with a full day of immersive, interactive programming including a film screening, DJ demo, graffiti workshop, gaming opportunities, and special guests. Join us to share how you see the influence of Hip-Hop, video games, and kung fu in pop culture!
