About Kurt Boone Books

Through my essays and photography, I am actively involved in recording all aspects of street cultures. I've written over 20 books, some of which are included in the following:
  • New-York Historical Society Library
  • Metropolitan Museum of Art Library
  • Museum of Modern Art Library
  • Cornell University Hip Hop Collection
  • Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture
  • Stanford University Library
More recently, I have completed an oral history project on the mass incarceration system in the United States for Columbia University Oral History Archive and was the subject of Speed Walking NYC, a short documentary film about my former job as a courier in New York City, NY.
My photographic work documenting the COVID-19 pandemic and Black Lives Matter protests in New York City in 2020 has been exhibited at the International Center of Photography and the Museum Of The City Of New York. I also published a photo catalog of protest street art titled “Fresh Plywood NYC: Artists Rise Up In The Age Of Black Lives Matter.”
