Wild Style: A Culture talk on film

Presented by Culxr House x Omaha Performing Arts Hip Hop Lab

Step into the roots of hip hop culture with a special screening and community conversation centered around the classic film Wild Style. Hosted at Culxr House in collaboration with the Omaha Performing Arts Hip Hop Lab, this experience is more than a film showing it’s a deep dive into the origins, influence, and lasting impact of hip hop across generations.

Wild Style captures the raw energy of early hip hop culture in New York City, highlighting graffiti, DJing, MCing, and breakdancing at a time when the movement was still underground. Through this screening, we invite artists, creatives, and community members to engage with the film as both a historical document and a source of inspiration.

Following the screening, join us for a guided culture talk featuring voices from the local hip hop community. Together, we’ll explore how the foundations of hip hop continue to shape art, fashion, music, and identity both globally and right here in Omaha.

Whether you’re a lifelong fan of the culture or just getting introduced, this is a space to learn, connect, and reflect on what hip hop has been and where it’s going.

Expect:
• Film screening of Wild Style
• Live culture talk + community dialogue
• Local artists and creatives in conversation
• A space rooted in history, expression, and connection

Come build, reflect, and celebrate the culture.
