The lecture will discuss the significance of hip hop jewelry and its connection with today’s American culture. Lyneise Williams, an assistant professor in the Department of Art at University of North Carolina, will lead the discussion. Dr. Williams has created a study of this one-of-a-kind style and has been published on this subject.
