Martha Cooper — Streetplay
7 images
For the publishing house “From Here To Fame Publishing”, first established in Cologne and now based in Berlin under the guidance of Akim Walta, we designed a series of projects for Martha Cooper, who has been charting the rise of hip hop culture for several decades, and who is especially well-known in Germany for her book “Subway Art”, published in 1984 with Heny Chalfant.
We designed a Carhartt edition of her portfolio, numbered and limited to 500 copies, to promote her 2004 book “Hip Hop Files” at the “Bread&Butter”. Then, in 2005, “From Here To Fame” published “Street Play”, an illustrated book designed by us, featuring kids playing in late-70s New York who, a few years later, would become the very first hip hop protagonists.
