Description

When Bruce Lee Met NYC Street Art: What started as a chat on Skype between Fab 5 Freddy and MC Yan, two pioneering graffiti and hip-hop artists separated by the Pacific Ocean, became "Kung Fu Wildstyle," a globe-trotting pop-up exhibit that celebrates the interplay and mutual influence of the Hong Kong martial arts hero and hip-hop culture. The paintings are on display for the rest of the month at the Smithsonian's Sackler Gallery in Washington, D.C.
