Data Consciousness centers on a collaborative print portfolio by William Villalongo and Shraddha Ramani that reimagines W.E.B. Du Bois’s data visualizations using contemporary statistics and local narratives on Black life. Works by Silas Munro, Kameelah Janan Rasheed, Tahir Hemphill, and Julia Mallory expand on this legacy through multimedia approaches. Together, these artists explore how data intersects with Black identity, surveillance, and resistance, asserting creative agency as a form of power.
