The Kindred Blackness Data Cafe
Kindred Blackness | ART. LIT. DATA. set is a carefully curated data resource dedicated to African American community web archiving, data information, art, and literature, and providing access to the work of a select group of artists and writers from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The work of these artists and writers is archived as text as data and information as art, serving as a valuable source of information for research or life-long learning. The data project is based on the belief that self-documentation of one's history is essential to understanding oneself and one's community through art and writing.
