After 10 months of pre-production, artwork management preparation, shipping and countless Skype-on-screen exhibition design sessions with the curatorial duo Jaime Rojo and Steven P. Harrington of Brooklyn Street Art (Brooklyn Street Art) from New York, we produced the first retrospective museum exhibition on legendary photographer Martha Cooper at the URBAN NATION Museum in October 2020.

Martha Cooper is a pioneer of photography. Her career ranges from 1943 to the present day. She and Henry Chalfant are the authors and creators of the world-famous graffiti bible Subway Art. The retrospective exhibition at the Urban Nation Museum is the most important and poignant display of her work and personal artefacts, shedding light on the woman behind the photographs, her extensive career and the influence her work has had on generations of graffiti writers, urban and street artists.
