THE CYPHER

Drawing inspiration from hip-hop culture, where a cipher is a circle of artists who freestyle and share ideas, The Cipher is a collection of books, films, and music. This is a collaborative and innovative space for people to exchange knowledge and be inspired by one another's experiences.
