A Great Day in Toronto Hip Hop

A Great Day in Toronto Hip Hop is a black-and-white photograph of 103 key players from the Canadian hip hop scene in Toronto, taken by photographer Patrick Nichols for the Art Gallery of Ontario on August 14, 2024. Echoing inspirational notes of the iconic 1958 Art Kane photo "A Great Day in Harlem" and the 1998 Gordon Parks photo "A Great Day in Hip Hop", "A Great Day in Toronto Hip Hop" features a collective likeness of MCs, DJs, break-dancers, graffiti artists, producers, promoters, designers and media personalities -- together representing three-generations of Hip Hop culture in Canada -- grouped standing on the steps of the Liberty Grand Entertainment Complex. The image was captured with a Phase One digital camera, shortly after noon.
