Four cast stone seats with lines of poetry from 'A State of Rock' by Benjamin Zephaniah executed in relief lettering on the top surface. The shapes of the seats echo the dynamics of the rap poetry and delineates the edge of the sunken amphitheatre in the central courtyard of Hackney Community College, London.
