A collaboration between the Black Thought Project and Media 2070, the installation is rooted in the question “What does a media that loves Black people love, feel and sound like?”
The custom-built installation will feature magazines, newspapers, art and other forms of media owned and published by Black folks representing the diversity of the African diaspora.
Of the five major platforms —Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter and YouTube — only TikTok explicitly prohibits targeted misgendering and deadnaming in its hate-and-harassment policy.
Free Press’ Venneikia Williams discusses the goals of the organization’s Media 2070 project, which “calls for media reparations and ownership of Black stories by Black people.”
This custom-built installation explores the question “What does a media that loves Black people look, feel, sound and taste like in a future where reparations are real?”
