Description

In the late 80s and early 90s, downtown Manhattan was the site of a collision between two vibrant subcultures: skateboarding and hip hop. Featuring a treasure trove of archives and interviews with legendary characters from the downtown scene, All the Streets Are Silent brings to life the magic of this time period, and the convergence that created an urban style and visual language that would have lasting cultural effect—from the dance floors of the Mars nightclub to the founding of brands like Supreme. Paris Is Burning meets Larry Clark's KIDS in this vibrant love letter to New York, examining race, society, fashion, and street culture.
