Capturing the Counterculture

The Albuquerque Museum presents Capturing the Counterculture on view from June 19 – October 31, 2027. This exhibition will showcase music photography from renowned photographers Douglas Kent Hall and David Scheinbaum. Hall’s collection spotlights rock and soul artists in New York in 1969, whereas Scheinbaum’s work features hip-hop artists in Albuquerque throughout the early twenty-first century. By pairing Hall and Scheinbaum’s works, the Albuquerque Museum seeks to compare two different countercultural movements, their beliefs, and accentuate how music was an integral tool used to platform the voices of marginalized groups.
