Here/Hear revolves around the erasure of Black bodies and culture. Work from two of artist Quinn Hunter’s recent series, Paradise: The Myth of a Liberal North and I See You Now, I Hear You Then, address this in different ways.

In Paradise: The Myth of a Liberal North, Hunter researched the promise of Detroit that many Black Southerners sought during the great migration and how the fallout of that promise has led to Detroit today: the result of redlining, white flight, and divestment.

Hunter sourced photographs from the Detroit Public Library archive of two prominent Black neighborhoods, Black Bottom and Paradise Alley. These images centered around life in the neighborhoods prior to their destruction in the late 1950s and 1960s when their homes and businesses were razed to build freeways.
