The Way in Which Things Operate 2009 graphite, charcoal, ink, acrylic on paper in the collection of and exhibited at The Spertus Museum, Chicago
			Narrative Synopsis: The Way in Which Things Operate draws from from Sokolow's family’s Chicago history and expands into larger questions about the Chicago Jewish immigrant experience. The piece follows the narrator on a madcap quest starting at the famed Manny’s Deli, through the streets of Lawndale and Humboldt Park, and ending at Spertus, where a crucial piece of information is discovered in the museum’s Open Depot collection display. Sokolow juxtaposes the likes of Robert DeNiro, her grandfathers and cousin, and fictional characters with questions surrounding JFK’s assassination, contested family stories, and corned beef on rye.
