CIRCA presents a new artistic collaboration with Ms. Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean, marking the 30th anniversary of The Score (1996). The project brings together three original collages published as limited-edition prints, the interactive sonic commission FUGEES HOPELINE, and an exclusive first listen to new Fugees music. Together, these elements celebrate the enduring global influence of the Grammy Award-winning group.
To commemorate 30 years of The Score, Ms. Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean have created three original collages, commissioned and published by CIRCA as a new series of limited-edition prints.
Extending the artists’ creative dialogue beyond music and into visual art, the works mark three decades of shared history, cultural influence and artistic expression.
Each collage is available in two formats: a large, hand-signed limited edition of 500 and a smaller, stamp-signed timed edition, available exclusively from 1 November to 31 December 2026.
Commissioned by CIRCA, FUGEES HOPELINE is a new interactive sonic artwork by Ms. Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean that transforms the telephone into a space for listening, reflection and collective exchange.
Audiences around the world are invited to dial +1(424)7-FUGEES to hear personal messages of hope from Ms. Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean, alongside an exclusive first listen to new Fugees music. Marking the group’s first new official release since Take It Easy (2005), callers will also have the opportunity to pre-order the forthcoming medley ahead of its release in December 2026.
Inspired by John Giorno’s pioneering Dial-A-Poem (1968), which brought recorded poetry into everyday life through the telephone, FUGEES HOPELINE extends a history of artistic experimentation with communication technologies. Where Giorno invited audiences to listen, Ms. Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean invite them to respond, transforming the telephone from a means of receiving a message into a platform for collective expression.
Rooted in themes of belonging, displacement and solidarity that have long informed the Fugees’ work, the commission encourages callers to record their own messages of hope. Together, these contributions will form an evolving audio archive, connecting individual voices across generations, languages and geographical boundaries.
At a time when the world is increasingly connected through technology yet divided by conflict, distance and uncertainty, FUGEES HOPELINE considers the possibilities of listening as an act of connection. Bringing together new music, personal testimony and public participation, the work asks what it means to offer hope to someone we may never meet, and what might happen when the world takes a moment to listen.
