SUMMARY:You Don’t Got Dis!?!! A Hip Hop Legacy exhibit
DESCRIPTION:In 1993\, Darryl “Jasz” Smith opened EarWax Records in Midtown Atlanta with the goal of making hard-to-find music easily available. Credited as the first Atlanta retailer to carry an extensive selection of hip-hop music\, EarWax’s prime location on Peachtree Street made it a popular public meeting place as well as a destination for DJs\, artists\, producers\, promoters\, athletes and celebrities. EarWax hosted media events\, live performances\, listening sessions and the iconic rap duo OutKast in-store. \nThe “You Don’t Got Dis” exhibit will make you feel like you’ve just entered EarWax back in ’93. It highlights Smith’s unique hip-hop collections as well as those of other notable collectors\, producers\, and DJs to showcase the vast archival legacy of hip hop. The exhibit features never-before-seen photographs and flyers from concerts and events\, rare mixtapes\, cassette and vinyl installments\, magazine collections\, a graffiti exhibit\, and an EarWax Records pop-up store filled with vinyl! \nAs we celebrate hip hop’s 50th anniversary\, it is important to acknowledge that Atlanta serves as a nexus where the past\, present\, and the future of hip hop collides and should be amplified.

SUMMARY:Sex Pistols\, Atlanta\, 1978: Photographs by Ron Sherman
DESCRIPTION:Emory University’s Rose Library presents “Sex Pistols\, Atlanta\, 1978: Photographs by Ron Sherman” at Different Trains Gallery in Decatur\, GA. This show highlights the photos Atlanta photojournalist Ron Sherman took at the Sex Pistols 1978 concert at the Great Southeast Music Hall. The show opens October 26 and continues through November 11. \n1978 began with a Georgian—Jimmy Carter—in the White House\, The Bee Gees on top of the music charts\, and the Atlanta Police Department’s Vice Squad preparing for The Sex Pistols appearance at the Great Southeast Music Hall. The English band was the provocative and controversial face of a new phenomenon called “punk\,” and the Atlanta show marked the beginning of the band’s American tour. No one on this side of the Atlantic knew what to expect\, but The Sex Pistols’ reputation for outrage and violence assured that the concert was a “…full blown international media event\,” as one Atlanta Constitution reporter wrote. 40 print\, television\, and photojournalists from England and across the United States joined the sold-out crowd and the Vice Squad at the show. \nLocal photographer Ron Sherman covered The Sex Pistols’ concert for Newsweek magazine. He shot several rolls of film during the band’s 45-minute set. His photographs document a key moment—the arrival of punk in Atlanta and the South. The images also reveal that behind their exaggerated reputation\, The Sex Pistols were a loud and uncompromising rock’n’roll band. This simple revelation ensured that punk had a future in places far from London and New York City.
