Black Mobility
For some, the steering wheel represents freedom, independence, and maybe even status (depending on the brand of automobile), but for others, it represents the uncertainty of not knowing whether its use could lead to an unjust traffic stop because of the color of their skin. Separating the steering wheel from the car allowed viewers to investigate it as an object or device removed from its original context, intended function, and designed purpose.
Greyhound Bus
This project centers on the rehabilitation of a 1947 Greyhound bus, transforming it into a mobile exhibition that explores the nuanced experiences of Black Americans during the era of segregation. Inspired by Robert Louis Brandon Edwards' research on Black mobility, the initiative delves into the "in-between" moments of transit, often overlooked in historical narratives. The bus will serve as an interactive space, utilizing augmented and virtual reality to immerse visitors in the past, allowing them to experience the choices and challenges faced by Black passengers during the Great Migration. By preserving this moving object, the project aims to foster a deeper understanding of cultural landscapes and the significance of everyday journeys in shaping history.
