Under The Grid - Celebrating MK Hip Hop Culture: Exhibition
Market Hall, Glyn Square, Wolverton, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, MK12 5JQ
For the last year we've been running a major new Arts Council-funded project, shining a spotlight on Milton Keynes’s rich Hip Hop scene. In partnership with the OU’s OpenLearn, MÓTUS Dance, MK City Council, Break To The Beat and others, we are celebrating the past, present and future of local Hip Hop, through the voices, moves and creativity of the people who shaped it.
In May 2026, we released a limited edition vinyl compilation album, Under The Grid, featuring MK Hip Hop music spanning nearly four decades. Fully re-mastered, these releases celebrate musical creativity in the city, showcasing some of our most exciting hip hop artists.
Exploring the worlds of DJing/Emceeing, Street Art and Breakdance, the exhibition will also showcase artworks and artefacts from MK, as well as screening the new project film, Under the Grid, co-produced by the Open University.
