The PAIR Project is a creative, personal, and professional development residency for qualified artists, scholars and arts administrators from around the world whose work is informed by Hip Hop culture. PAIR artists/administrators spend a minimum of 2 weeks and up to 1 year:
1) developing their own work in collaboration with local artists
2) connecting with the Hiphop/arts community around PATH’s mission and programs
3) utilizing the PATH Truthrisery, a collection of Hip Hop resources, to inspire new work or build on existing work
In 2023, PATH celebrates its 15th anniversary and the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop culture. As we transition into the 60 year anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in 2024, PATH programs will highlight connections between the Civil Rights Movement and the rise of Hip Hop culture. We’re delighted to share our beloved culture with Miami and the world. Join us!
