The Louis Armstrong House Museum requests a $30,000 Digital Projects for the Public Discovery Grant for the exploratory phase for Mapping Jazz and Hip-Hop in Queens, New York. The goal of the project is to raise broader awareness about one of the essential storylines in the history of American music: how the presence of a prolific jazz community in Queens had significant influence on the rise of hip-hop in the borough and beyond. We will tell this story via a multi-platform digital experience including a museum exhibit and a web/mobile interactive that facilitates users’ own journeys as they explore the neighborhoods that incubated both jazz and hip-hop over a span of nearly a century. |
