From the Outside(rs), In explores, through compelling politically conscious signage and photography, a convergent response to a manufactured workless caste.

Bryce Detroit investigates James Boggs' "Outsiders and the Challenge of Postindustrial Society" (a chapter in the American Revolution) using music, semiotics, and storytelling as design materials to uplift narratives of a new economy and infrastructures of care, that render Outsiders in, a requirement to advance humanity.Bryce Detroit investigates the significance of the griot as cultural catalyst and provocateur.

The narratives are rooted in a cultural contextualizing that is inherently encoded in the DNA of humanity. The #NewNarratives foundationally disrupt the colonized imagination and undermine anti-Blackness. His integration of music, architecture, design, ancestral literacies, and cultural legacies render the metaphysical as tangible. The ethereal, sonic, and architectural function as remediative modalities that condition the imagination, as soil for new seeds of self identity and image.
