Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean are inviting fans to become part of an artwork.
The artists have teamed with public art platform CIRCA for Fugees Hopeline, an interactive audio project connected to the 30th anniversary of The Score.
CIRCA says callers can hear personal messages and a 60-second preview of a previously unreleased, 20-minute Fugees medley. Listeners can also contribute reflections on hope, adding their own experiences to an evolving audio archive.
The number is 424-738-4337. CIRCA’s project page provides direct-calling and WhatsApp options.
A related development takes the project beyond the telephone. According to the November 5 announcement from Shore Fire Media, selected recordings are planned for presentation at Faena Forum in Miami Beach on December 4–5 during Art Basel Miami Beach.
Hill also created three collage artworks for the collaboration. CIRCA lists both hand-signed limited editions and smaller stamp-signed editions, with the timed edition offered through December 31, 2026.
The combination gives the anniversary several forms: music to hear, visual art to see and a space for listeners to respond.
Fans who want to participate can start at CIRCA’s official page, review the project and decide what story they want to contribute. The invitation is personal: explain what hope means in your own life.
