content: A print by Sekou Cooke as part of the collage studies from “We Outchea: Hip-Hop Fabrications and Public Space.” The print takes a black-and-white photograph of Schor’s Meats Market of the 15th Ward in Syracuse, New York. The street photograph captures cars parked in front of store fronts and hours, with Schor’s on the right side and a woman walking in by the market on the right. The sky has been highlighted orange. In the top left corner, large white text reads [“IT WAS, OF COURSE, NO ACCIDENT / THAT NEARLY ALL OF SYRACUSE’S / AFRICAN-AMERICANS WERE CONFINED / TO ONE DISTRICT.”]. Screen printed over the print is an outline of Pioneer Homes in a dark color ink. At the bottom left, the street name [TOWNSEND] is visibly printed upside down and below the second line of text is the street name [McBride] also printed upside down. The artist signed the print in the front, lower right corner in graphite: [S Cooke / 2020 / AP].When installed, the collage studies comprise a 3x3 grid of nine different illustrations, with this illustration placed in the bottom row, on the left.
