Solid Wall of Sound

#finalyear #art #fineart #graffiti #hiphop #installation #music

This installation is a homage to self-defined identity and the reinvention of long-standing traditions. Looking specifically at Afro-Caribbean and African-American music culture I built a wall of model speakers and apartment blocks out of cardboard, decorated with graffiti. The installation is lined with audio sensitive lights, which respond to a playlist of Hip-Hop, reggae, jungle and soul music intertwined with first-hand audio recordings of conversations on the bus through Brixton between British Afro-Caribbean’s. Expressing the vibrancy and innovation of Afrodiasporic culture, how D.I.Y attitudes and remodelling sound systems created Hip-Hop and rap.
