Curated Storefront, Law Building Lobby
Akron, OH
August 2019

“Blackbird: For A Brown Baby Boy” was composed onsite of the Lobby on the first floor of the historic Law Building in Akron, OH. It is composed as a quietly immersive challenge to the idea of a legal institution within which human beings were routinely enslaved and brutalized for profit. Blackbird is a meditation upon an imagined space where Lee Howard Dobbins, an enslaved child who ran north through the Ohio landscape might have been free.
