Sulyiman Stokes is a cultural worker and interdisciplinary artist from
Chicago’s Auburn-Gresham neighborhood. Through all of his artistic mediums, Stokes
focuses on telling stories of radical love in the Black community. A lifelong
musician and multi-instrumentalist — from elementary school onward — Stokes
discovered his passion for photography in 2018 and uses his platform to elevate the
stories of the oppressed. This is what his Chicago sounds like.
