Echoes of Harlem: Afrofuturism and Black Digital Archives

Join Dr. Bryan Carter, Director of the Center for Digital Humanities (CDH) at the University of Arizona, as he explores the intersection of technology and Black cultural preservation in his talk, Echoes of Harlem: Afrofuturism and Black Digital Archives. In this presentation, Dr. Carter will highlight key initiatives at the CDH, including the Virtual Harlem project—a fully immersive representation of 1920s Harlem—as well as work in 3D scanning and volumetric video capture.

Drawing from these initiatives, Dr. Carter will discuss how new technologies are reshaping the preservation of African American histories, enabling future generations to interact with Black cultural narratives in very different and immersive ways. The talk will touch on the ethical considerations of archiving through a postcolonial and Afrofuturist lens and will outline a vision for the future of Black Digital Archives, where holographic figures and interactive digital artifacts are not just possibilities but realities.
