So Fresh, So Clean (ATL)

IKE Smart City, in collaboration with curator Karen Comer Lowe, presents So Fresh, So Clean (ATL), a dynamic art exhibition that will be showcased on 30 digital kiosks across Atlanta from September 1 to November 18, 2023. Marking Hip Hop’s 50th Anniversary, the initiative reverberates with a profound tribute to Atlanta's pivotal role in shaping the genre's evolution. The exciting partnership with Lowe reflects IKE Smart City’s longstanding commitment to enrich communities through the production and presentation of diverse public art. IKE digital kiosk networks in cities across the country regularly display transformative creative works as part of the programming mix to expand the reach of cultural content in the public realm.

Atlanta's contribution to Hip Hop is often underappreciated in the larger conversation. The city has produced numerous successful and influential musical artists who created a global shift in Hip Hop music. So Fresh, So Clean (ATL) recognizes these artists with a showcase of works by celebrated photographers across the United States, including Ant Hilliard, Shannon McCollum, Justin Lowe (Atlanta), Raymond Boyd (Chicago), Christopher Ayala, Pedro Aimos (New York), Thaddaeus McAdams (Miami)

So Fresh, So Clean (ATL) will be displayed on IKE digital screens throughout Atlanta’s Downtown neighborhoods, including Midtown, Inman Park, Old Fourth Ward, Castleberry Hill, Home Park, Summerhill, Sweet Auburn, and West End, and beyond to Bolton, Buckhead, East Village, Fairburn Mays, Kirkwood, Morningside-Lenox Park, Southwest Atlanta, Sylvan Hills, and Virginia Highland.
