For six years Maya Stovall staged Liquor Store Theatre, a
conceptual art and anthropology video project---included in the
Whitney Biennial in 2017---in which she danced near the liquor
stores in her Detroit neighborhood as a way to start conversations
with her neighbors. In this book of the same name, Stovall uses the
project as a point of departure for understanding everyday life in
Detroit and the possibilities for ethnographic research, art, and
knowledge creation. Her conversations with her neighbors-which
touch on everything from economics, aesthetics, and sex to the
political and economic racism that undergirds Detroit's
history-bring to light rarely acknowledged experiences of longtime
Detroiters. In these exchanges, Stovall enacts an innovative form
of ethnographic engagement that offers new modes of integrating the
social sciences with the arts in ways that exceed what either
approach can achieve alone.
