Everybody's Fly: A Life of Art, Music, and Changing the Culture
A conversation on the intersection of art, music, and cultural influence, exploring how creative movements reshape identity and community.
Why we picked this
This conversation treats art and music not as separate disciplines but as a single cultural engine — the Cooper Union setting grounds it in New York's history of creative cross-pollination.
The Cooper Union hosts a conversation exploring the entangled histories of visual art, music, and style — how creative movements reshape not just aesthetics but identity and community. The discussion spans hip-hop, contemporary art, fashion, and the informal networks that connect them.
What distinguishes this from a standard panel on “art and culture” is its focus on the mechanisms of influence: how ideas, sounds, and images travel between communities, get adopted and transformed, and eventually change what an entire generation considers normal. The Cooper Union’s Great Hall, which has hosted debates and lectures for over 150 years, provides a venue with its own history of cultural disruption.
