Synopsis

<p><b>Before there was Drake, there was The 6. The genesis and rise of Toronto&#39;s Hip Hop culture.</b></p><p>Amongst the algorithmic pulsations that remap informational networks at the whim of any giant tech company, hip hop culture produces ways of knowing (and being in) the world that continually disrupt the status quo.</p><p>Guided by a sense of rawness &#8212; an unsanitized speaking of truth to power &#8212; hip hop culture thrives outside of the formal and institutional settings which are often used to confer importance. Hip hop has no use for such pedestals. Its inherent and purposefully self-critical nature ensures that hip hop is both a widely appealing form for youth protest and a self-calibrating system of quality control.</p><p>A photographic excavation of Toronto&#39;s hip hop archive, <i>...Everything Remains Raw</i> draws on photographs of Kardinal Offishall, Michie Mee, Dream Warriors, Maestro, Drake, Director X, and others by Michael Chambers, Sheinina Raj, Demuth Flake, Craig Boyko, Nabil Shash, Patrick Nichols, and Stella Fakiyesi to offer a deep dive in hip hop&#39;s visual culture. An intentional intersection of the taste-making skills of the DJ and the nuanced particularism of the curator, the book and the accompanying exhibition juxtapose never-before-seen images with photojournalism, street posters, and zines to reframe and enhance popular understandings of this thing called hip hop.</p><p><i>...Everything Remains Raw</i> accompanies an exhibition organized at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection.</p>
