Going to see Doja Cat in Seattle this Thursday? 👀 Before you hit the concert, check out this piece of pop culture history in MOPOP’s Styled by the Streets: Black Women in Hip-Hop Fashion exhibition!

Doja Cat’s bold, futuristic style connects to a broader creative tradition known as Afrofuturism: a movement that blends Black culture, science fiction, technology, and visionary design to imagine new futures. Across music, art, and fashion, Afrofuturism challenges conventions and creates space for Black artists to reimagine what’s possible.

Set a waypoint for celebrations.

This year, we're proud to honor at the 2026 Icons of Pop Culture Gala for its groundbreaking impact on gaming and interactive storytelling.

Since its debut, Halo has transported players to a richly imagined sci-fi universe where every mission and battle became part of a shared experience. Following the legendary Master Chief and his companion Cortana on their journey to save humanity from an alien alliance and overwhelming odds, Halo transformed first-person shooters into cinematic adventures built around strategy, storytelling, and community.

Across games, books, live action and animated series, and beyond, Halo’s legacy continues to expand what storytelling in gaming can be: immersive, cinematic, and deeply connected to community.

Join us on October 22 as we celebrate Halo’s lasting legacy alongside this year's Icons of Pop Culture Gala honorees.

✨ Tickets for the gala and performance-only experience are available now. Link in bio.

Fashion is at its best when it refuses to play by the rules. ✨
