DWR Presents: Hood Century Archive by Jerald Cooper

Blending memory, pop culture, and design, Jerald “Coop” Cooper’s work challenges traditional architectural histories by placing Black culture at its core. This limited series of signed, framed prints feature exclusive photographs from his archives – shot between 2020 to 2022 – which bring overlooked modernist spaces and communities into sharp focus. Each captures moments of modern life through Cooper’s unique lens and deep passion for modern design, serving as enduring acts of cultural preservation, and honoring architecture as a vessel for identity and community.
