Hood Century and Limbo Accra reflect on a new Black spatial reality In a new series of profiles, we follow Ghanaian spatial design studio Limbo Accra on a journey that explores its collaborations. Limbo Accra’s rich network developed through global partnerships that founder Dominique Petit-Frère nurtured with leading urban space-makers and architectural enthusiasts. The series discusses critical issues of our time, such as design intention, intergenerationality, creativity and change through Africa and its diaspora. First up, the spotlight turns to Jerald ‘Coop’ Cooper of online platform Hood Century Hood Century is an online platform founded by Jerald ‘Coop’ Cooper in 2019. The project, blending Black culture and modernist architecture, was conceived as a space dedicated to documenting midcentury finds from Coop’s childhood neighbourhood in Cincinnati. In so doing, the platform soon became a springboard to unpack myriad themes, exploring the intersection between archive, education and activism in urban preservation.
