that is more introspective about herself and her transformation. She raps that "I dig, I plant a seed, I call for God, I call for the energy inside me." Ms. Medina explores all facets of Hip Hop culture, saying she wants to be "All City." In her drawing, Ms. Medina uses deconstructed forms from a boom box, with the complex shapes and mechanical gears making up letters of the alphabet, such as "A" and "O," with colors then added. In a short interview, Ms. Medina explained that there are 5 elements of Hip Hop: MC-ing, graffiti, break dance, DJing and, knowledge, and in addition, the well-known Hip Hop performer Afrika Bambata says "transformation," which is Medina's goal. Casita Maria has a large afterschool program for several of the schools in the area. The children came into the exhibition, had juice, crackers and cheese, looked around and got a sort of scavenger hunt quiz. They had to answer 10 questions about the Glendalys Medina exhibit. For example, what 3 elements of Hip Hop did Glendalys Medina reference in her exhibition? The answer is graffiti, break dance and MC-ing.
In the gallery, Medina demonstrates the wheat-pasting up of her personal tag- Black Gold, on the wall. She has wheat-pasted these posters in Manhattan and the Bronx. In a video she puts up a poster at E 90th St and Madison, with others at 167th street and Webster, 167th Street and Jerome, and also at Gun Hill Road and White Plains Road. These posters are easier to put up and take down than spray paint tags. The exhibition will have Medina do a performance on Saturday, December 14, 2013 from 1 to 4 PM of "Dear Me," in which Medina sings an original piece inspired by the Hip Hop artist Drake's song "Find Your Love."
