Collection: Outside Sesame by Paul Octavious

This new series from Paul Octavious, "Outside Sesame," explores the world beyond the beloved neighborhood of Sesame Street.

"Growing up, my family and I would often venture into the city, with Harlem being our favorite destination for its food and street vendors. I was always captivated by the large stoops and brownstones, and I remember asking my mom one day, "Is this Sesame Street?" The presence of so many beautiful Black and Brown people around me was intriguing. It felt different from the Sesame Street I knew, almost like an alternate universe. This series aims to explore the area just beyond our cherished fictional neighborhood, where the lives of muppet puppets and Black and Brown people come together."
