In her book Harlem Is Nowhere, Sharifa Rhodes-Pitts conjures a portrait of "The Mecca of Black America." In Seattle, that mecca is the Central District, and at the center of the district is the corner of 23rd Avenue and Union Street. It's where the Black Panthers hung out, where the annual festival once brought the tight-knit neighborhood families out to celebrate. Now it's a site of violence and economic displacement. Some call it gentrification, some call it ethnic cleansing. This exhibition is portrait photographs taken on the corner, along with audio testimonies about the corner left by dozens of callers on a toll-free phone line during the summer of 2009 (and written testimonies added since the show opened). This is an overhearing. All you have to do is put your ear up to your city. (Northwest African American Museum, 2300 S Massachusetts St, 518-6000, 11 am–4 pm, $6)
