"D-Cyphered: Portraits by Jenny Risher takes viewers on a photographic timeline that makes up the story of the Detroit hip-hop scene. Often overlooked by the movements in New York and Los Angeles, Detroit's hip-hop history is deeply shaped by the various elements of Motown and Detroit techno. Since the emergence of Eminem and his movie 8 Mile, and the recognition of the genius of the late J. Dilla, Detroit has seen a deep underground scene emerge and gain national recognition. Through this exhibition the rich history that makes Detroit hip-hop a one-of-a kind genre will be explored. The exhibition consists of photographs made from 2015 through 2017. Detroit native and photographer Jenny Risher collaborated with musical artists, producers, and DJ's to create a portrait series telling the influences and legacy of Detroit's legendary hip-hop scene."--Detroit Institute of Arts website.
