content: A digital illustration by Sekou Cooke of a rendered cross section from “We Outchea: Hip-Hop Fabrications and Public Space.” The 2-D digital rendering is black-and-white city landscape with a gray sky and several gray and white buildings. In the background on the right side is the tallest building. In front of or by the buildings in the foreground are orange components, some with black-and-white photographs on the surface. People are scattered throughout the landscape. In the top left, white text reads [“BLACK WOMEN, MEN, AND CHILDREN HAVE BEEN, FORCEFULLY AND NOT, IMPLICATED IN THE UNEVEN DEVELOPMENT OF SPACE BECAUSE OVERARCHING TRADITIONAL GEOGRAPHIC PROJECTS REQUIRE THAT THEY BE PLACED AND DISPLACED.”] a quote from Katherine McKittrick’s “Demonic Grounds: Black Women and the Cartographies of Struggle." At the center and to the right, white text reads [LOOK, THEY GON’ TEAR THIS BUILDING DOWN / AND THEY GON’ BUILD SOME NEW SHIT. / BUT PEOPLE? / THEY DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT PEOPLE.”].
