Tupac Shakur’s estate has announced the upcoming exhibit, “Tupac Shakur: Wake Me When I’m Free,” the first art expedition officially sanctioned by the late rapper’s estate.
Set to open on a limited run on January 21, 2022, at The Canvas in Los Angeles, California, “Wake Me When I’m Free,” is described as part museum, part art installation, part sensory experience that focuses on the life of the iconic artist. Pac’s music, poetry, and never-before-seen artifacts will be displayed across the 20,000 square foot space.
Visitors can expect a strong presence from Tupac’s late mother and Black Panther Afeni Shakur. “Afeni was the baddest Black Woman to walk the planet. She raised awareness and shifted the atmosphere wherever she went,” Jamal Joseph, Tupac’s Godfather and Special Advisor to the Estate, shared. “Tupac’s brilliance shined brighter than the Sun. He lived and moved with creative – revolutionary- fearless-passion fueled speed of a comet. Afeni and Pac challenged, re-imagined, and transformed history.”
