This event is a part of Conversations in Equity and Design, a series co-presented by the Walker Art Center, Dunwoody College of Technology, Minneapolis College, and MSP NOMA with AIA Minnesota.

Join us for an engaging conversation between Sekou Cooke and Paul Bauknight diving into the ideas behind Cooke’s architectural practice, his theory of hip-hop Architecture, and the exhibition Reconstructions: Architecture and Blackness in America.

Sekou Cooke is an architect, researcher, educator, and curator born in Jamaica and based in Charlotte, NC. Cooke’s current research centers on the emergent field of hip-hop architecture, a theoretical movement reflecting the core tenets of hip-hop culture with the power to create meaningful impact on the built environment and give voice to the marginalized and underrepresented within design practice.
