Very beautiful catalog of the exhibition dedicated to the archives of photographer Sophie Bramly. A young French journalist sent to New York in 1981, discovered the hip-hop movement there when she arrived. It takes full force the wave which shakes certain districts and particularly the Bronx. Making friends with the great figures of the time (Fab 5 Freddy, Futura 2000, Afrika Bambaataa, Grand Mixer DST…) she lives at the very heart of the phenomenon and brings back thousands of photos with her. A trip back in time when Hip Hop was only just taking its first steps.
