The Project
The Black Diasporas Melbourne project is an expansion of the BlackDiasporas.com New York City pilot; a digital mapping project that documents experience of the city as told by people of African heritage. We are working towards creating a platform which has more nuanced African-Australian narratives: life stories that go beyond the usual narrative of tragedy or heroism. The platform will be used to show more full expressions of African-Australian cultural practices, experiences and lives by showing a spectrum of experiences.
The outcome
Sandra Githinji, Kalu Oji will be publishing the mapping project at an exhibition in August 2022, see below for more information about the project.
