Data Consciousness and Luminous Abstraction 

Public Reception to follow.

This lecture brings W.E.B. Du Bois's pioneering data visualizations into dialogue with Alma Thomas's luminous abstractions, tracing a shared commitment to visualizing Black life beyond statistical reduction or representational constraint. Together, Du Bois and Thomas reveal how data can function as both evidence and imagination, expanding the possibilities of aesthetic practice, historical interpretation, and collective liberation.
