A weekend celebrating Southern Black Culture and hip-hop starts July 15 in Bentonville. In addition to offering free admission to “The Dirty South: Contemporary Art, Material Culture, and the Sonic Impulse,” the weekend will open with performances by Danny Simmons, Vernon Reid and Dwayne Dolphin at 7 p.m. July 15 in the Great Hall at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.

Headlining the weekend are Run the Jewels and Big Boi. Fronted by Atlanta-based rapper Killer Mike and rapper/producer EL-P, the rap super duo is known for heavy bass as well as social and political musings. Grammy-awarding winning Big Boi (cousin to Killer Mike) is also an Atlanta-based rapper and one half of the duo Outkast. Active in hip-hop for the last three decades, the rapper, songwriter, record producer, actor and philanthropist born Antwan André Patton has had an immeasurable influence on modern hip-hop. Run the Jewels and Big Boi will perform as part of the Momentary’s Live on the Green Concert Series at 8 p.m. July 16.

Prior to the Run the Jewels/Big Boi concert there will be artist talks with Valerie Cassel Oliver, Fahamu Pecou, Nick Cave and others at Crystal Bridges on Saturday. Sunday will conclude with a free Walker Landing Performance hosted by Big Piph from 1-5 p.m. July 17. See crystalbridges.org/series/the-dirty-south-weekend/ for more information.
