The Space Program collective started as a group of hip-hop artists, poets, musicians, producers, engineers, and creatives who came together to support and participate in Stevie “Dr. View” Johnson’s dissertation which was developed to demonstrate and analyze how Black collegians at historically white institutions interrogate and disrupt anti-Blackness.
Dr. View’s vision was to develop a traditional dissertation, and digital hip hop album that would extend beyond defending his dissertation and exist in the world on its own. The body of work was an album entitled, Curriculum of the Mind. After the album’s completion and the successful defense of his dissertation, Dr. View and fellow members of The Space Program understood that there was more work to be done and more space to be created for students.
