(Oryza : Healing Ground)

Content: This experimental animated documentary interrogates the colonial legacies embedded in archives through the lens of Black land stewards.

A custom-built Artificial Intelligence system centered on Black histories, creates evolving digital motifs on Afrocentric perspectives, challenging the exclusion of Black voices from AI and algorithmic technologies.
