Good news! The CONTACT HIGH exhibition at Manarat Al Saadiyat has been extended.
It’ll be open daily from 3-30 June, so head to a link to book your ticket now — and don't forget to cop some merch when you get there.
Showing outside of the United States for the first time, CONTACT HIGH takes visitors through four decades of photographs, albums, magazine covers and memorabilia that document Hip-Hop culture. Specifically curated for Abu Dhabi, the exhibition features over 200 images by 60+ photographers including; Janette Beckman, Barron Claiborne and Jorge Peniche. Photographs are displayed alongside original contact sheets. The contact sheets give an intimate look into the photographer’s journey during the shoot, and an unrivalled insight into the personality of the subject in front of the camera, often capturing a softer or more humorous side of the Hip-Hop artist that is rarely seen by the public. The images include some of Hip-Hop’s biggest names: Kanye West, Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, Megan Thee Stallion, MF Doom, Cardi B, A$AP Rocky, Tyler the Creator, Queen Latifah, Salt-N-Pepa, and the legendary Notorious B.I.G.
