        "description": "Inspired by his childhood fascination with Marvel Comics, the artist Kerry James Marshall set out to create a modern-day, Black superhero. The story of <em>Rythm Mastr</em> centers around the eponymous superhero character and his prot\u00e9g\u00e9 Farrell and is set within the context of the controversial razing of public housing projects in the South Side of Chicago (near Marshall\u2019s home) and increased violence in the city. The two main characters have the power to bring Egyptian and African statues to life at the museum and imbue them with superpowers akin to the seven gods of the Yoruba pantheon. The characters debate intellectual history, philosophy, and politics in Black vernacular English\u2014offering up an alternative reality for Marshall\u2019s South Side Chicago neighborhood that combines past, present, and future.",
