About Groundwaves Generations

Produced in collaboration with Groundwaves—a unique platform for hip-hop, community building, and collaboration—Groundwaves Generations transforms the typical family museum outing into an intergenerational day party, with family-friendly MCs, beat makers, and creative activities happening throughout the museum.
